Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of natural gas used for heat supply as reported by UBA. CO2 value retrieved from CO2 Emission Factors for Fossil Fuels Update 2022 (page 51). This also provides the conversion factor between gross and net CV of 1.108. This has been applied to CH4 and N2O values taken from Emissionsbilanz erneuerbarer Energietraeger dataset to convert to gross CV.
