Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of peat. Calculated using emission factors published by the source and converting from a net to gross calorific value basis by multiplying by 0.9. Published by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. The net calorific value is retrieved from Table 1 of the pdf file Netherlands: list of fuels and standard CO2 emission factors version of January 2024.

Peat (gross CV)

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass. It's not clear if this contains biogenic CO2 or if it contains only CH4 and N2O. This EF might not therefore be suitable for use in reporting scope 1. Published by the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning. Retrieved from the China Products Carbon Footprint Factors Database (2022).

Biogenic CO2 emission intensity of biodiesels. This can be used to report outside-of-scope biogenic emissions.  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.

Emission intensity of peat. Retrieved from the CSV file "Brandstoffenenergieopwekking NL" from CO2 Emissiefactoren 2025.02 providing a standard list of CO2 emission factors.

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. The primary source is EPA Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories - Table 1 Stationary Combustion Emission Factors - March 9 2018.

Emission intensity of peat (only savings). Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. Data quality flag: Methodology - The source does not specify the IPCC AR version of GWPs used to calculate CO2e.

Peat (savings only)

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. Calculated on a gross calorific value (gross CV - higher heating value) basis. The primary source is EPA Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories - Table 1 Stationary Combustion Emission Factors - March 9 2018. NOTE: This dataset has been deprecated by the source and will be removed soon.

Biogenic CO2 emission intensity of biodiesels. Calculated on a net calorific value (Net CV) basis. This can be used to report outside-of-scope biogenic emissions. 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.

Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of peat. 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 supply chain in EUR spend on: Peat. The emission factors are for the final production of products in the region and from the complete international supply chain. These factors are provided in basic prices for the year 2022. Data quality flag: Methodology - this EF is marked as an outlier by the source for Scope 1/ 2/ 3 component which takes the average value for region Non-EU Emerging or a World average if the former doesn't exist.

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: peat. 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 and 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 EU Advanced or the World average if there is no regional average.
