Emission intensity for '17: Natural gas transmitted or distributed in a pipeline'. Published by the Australian Government (DCCEEW) on 31 August 2024: National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination (NGER). Retrieved from Schedule 1 - Energy content factors and emission factors: Part 2 - Fuel combustion - gaseous fuels.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: natural gas. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.

Emission intensity WTT for natural gas - South Australia (metro). Published by the Australian Government (DCCEEW) in August 2024. Retrieved from the National Greenhouse Account Factors 2024 (XLSX file - sheet: 'Energy - scope 3').

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the raw fuel sources to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2019: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the raw fuel sources to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2017: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of fuel. Fuels conversion factors should be used for primary fuel sources combusted at a site or in an asset owned or controlled by the reporting organisation. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2017: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the raw fuel sources to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: natural gas. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is not included meaning the emission factor does not account for capital goods.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of fuel. Fuels conversion factors should be used for primary fuel sources combusted at a site or in an asset owned or controlled by the reporting organisation. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2016: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the raw fuel sources to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. The emission factor is calculated using the Gross Calorific Value. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2023: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.
