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

Emission intensity of shale oil. 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. NOTE: this value is provided in CO2 only and does not include the impact of other GHGs.

Shale oil (gross CV)

Emission intensity of shale oil 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 shale oil. 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.
