Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 N2O and fossil CO2 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 Conversion Factors 2019: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ 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 fuel to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2025: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ at the source URL.

Biogenic CO2 emission factor of wood chips. The activity unit is kg ds and stands for kilograms of dry solids. This unit is used to measure the weight of biomass materials excluding any moisture content ensuring that emission calculations are based on the actual combustible material. Retrieved from the excel file CO2 Emissiefactoren 2025 providing a Dutch standard list of CO2 emission factors.
