Emission intensity of stationary combustion of fuel. Retrieved from the sheet: '01_Stationäre_Verbrennung' of the Excel file 'Emissionsfaktoren zur THG-Bilanzierung (xlsx-Format) 2.0' published by UBA at the source URL. Note: the emission factor includes scope 1 fossil fuel combustion emissions only and excludes biogenic CO2 emissions. Biogenic CO2 from combustion is reported separately under "Outside of Scopes" and must be added if total combustion emissions are required.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 and N2O only. This EF can be used to report 'in-scope' emissions in scope 1 as it excludes emissions of biogenic CO2. Use LCA activity 'biogenic_co2_combustion' for the biogenic CO2 emissions reported outside of scopes. Retrieved from the 2025 GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx) file published by the US EPA at the source URL.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 and N2O only. This EF can be used to report 'in-scope' emissions in scope 1 as it excludes emissions of biogenic CO2. Use LCA activity 'biogenic_co2_combustion' for the biogenic CO2 emissions reported outside of scopes. Retrieved from the2022 GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx) file published by the US EPA at the source URL.

Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of biofuels and other biomass. Should be reported as 'biogenic' or 'outside of scopes'. Retrieved from the2023 GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx) file published by the US EPA at the source URL.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of fuel including upstream emissions. Retrieved from the sheet: '07_Stat._Verbr. V. & m.V' of the Excel file 'Emissionsfaktoren zur THG-Bilanzierung (xlsx-Format) 2.0' published by UBA at the source URL.

Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of biomass. Should be reported as 'biogenic' or 'outside of scopes'. NOTE: this value is provided in CO2 only and does not include the impact of other GHGs. Calculated on a gross calorific value (gross CV - higher heating value) basis.
