Emission Factor

Heat - central or small-scale - other than natural gas (heat and power co-generation - biogas - gas engine)

Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This product represents heat measured in MJ. The heat is produced through various other means than natural gas. This includes burning of biomethane in gas turbine; biogas in co-gen gas engine; anthracite coal lignite briquettes and coke in stove; hardwood logs softwood wood chips wood pellets in furnaces and wood heaters; light fuel oil in boilers. Also contributing are heat from heat pumps and solar collectors. The dataset is targeted for central or small-scale heating. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
