Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is electricity production, hydro, run-of-river, renewable energy products. The Reference Product is electricity, high voltage, renewable energy products. This product represents electrical energy measured in kWh. If electricity is taken from a market for electricity, the transmission infrastructure, country-specific losses and transformation losses (for markets for medium and low voltage) are included. Covers voltages above 24 kV. The Swiss label-certified electricity mix includes an aggregated share for electricity subsidized as kostendeckende Einspeisevergütung (KEV). The generation of electricity from label-certified sources is modelled in dedicated datasets for each voltage level. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
