District heating: Distribution losses
Interested in licensing this data?
Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of total (upstream and use phase) distribution losses in the district heating network. This emission factor was calculated by Climatiq as the difference between the delivered and gross total (upstream and use phase) emission factors for district heating. These emission factors were calculated using data from Table 1 of the Norwegian District Heating Climate Accounting Report (Fjernkontrollen) https://www.fjernkontrollen.no/uploaded/files/2020_06_01_klimaregnskap_for_fjernvarme_2020.pdf?utm and Tables 2 and 4 from Statistics Norway, District heating and district cooling https://www.ssb.no/en/energi-og-industri/energi/statistikk/fjernvarme-og-fjernkjoling. The gross emission factor was calculated by dividing the calculated total emissions (162,856.5 tCO2e) by the reported total gross district heating production (9285.3 GWh). The delivered emission factor was calculated similarly to the gross one but also taking into account the distribution losses percentage in the district heating network (10.68%).
