Emission intensity of lignite related to the net calorific value (NCV). Provided by the Official Journal of the European Union for the purposes of the carbon border adjustment mechanism during the transitional period. Retrieved from Annex VIII - Table 1 at the source URL. NOTE: this value is provided in CO2 only and does not include the impact of other GHGs.

Emission intensity of lignite at mine. Retrieved from the file AusLCI_1.42_EF_Published in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Lignite (at mine)

Emission intensity of lignite. Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. Data quality flag: Partial factor - this EF includes only CO2 values; it does not include values for CH4/N2O and other greenhouse gases.

Emission intensity of lignite. Provided by the Official Journal of the European Union for the purposes of the carbon border adjustment mechanism during the transitional period. Retrieved from Annex VIII and calculated by multiplying the columns: Emission factor (t CO2/TJ) and Net calorific value (TJ/Gg) from Table 1 at the source URL. NOTE: this value is provided in CO2 only and does not include the impact of other GHGs.

Emission intensity of combustion of lignite. The GHG emissions standard applied is the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Boundaries: Only includes emissions from the combustion of the fuel. Excludes emissions upstream of the combustion of the fuel. Retrieved from Singapore Emission Factors Registry (SEFR) database. The primary data source is National Environment Agency (NEA) Singapore. According to the source: This datapoint references default CO2 CH4 and N2O emission factors in net calorific values from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (unless stated otherwise) and the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). This datapoint is also referenced in NEA's Carbon Tax Calculator for companies under the Carbon Pricing Act (CPA). For CPA companies who wish to do the Carbon Tax calculation please refer to NEA website directly. (https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/climate-change-energy-efficiency/climate-change/carbon-tax).

Emission intensity of lignite. Retrieved from the file Base Carbone v23.9 published by ADEME. For detailed guidance on the application and interpretation of these emission factors please refer to the documentation provided by the source.

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: lignite / brown coal. The emission factors are for the final production of products in the region and from the complete international supply chain. The base data year is 2023. Prices have been adjusted to 2025 by EXIOBASE. Retrieved from the EXIOBASE v3.11 model outputs for products. Data quality flag: Methodology - this EF is marked as an outlier by the source for Scope 1/2/3 components - there may be insufficient data to create an EF and / or the industry is not relevant or significant for the region. The value for this EF is therefore given either by the regional average for Non-EU Emerging or the World average if there is no regional average.
