District heating - residual heat without co-firing reduction

Upstream emission factor for district heat supplied from residual heat without co-firing. Chain emissions include upstream emissions associated with the energy required to make the residual heat available and transport it through the heat network. According to the source, the emission factor is reported at the end user and accounts for distribution losses. The underlying CE Delft methodology reports an average distribution loss of 25%, based on losses reported by heat companies. Retrieved from the excel file CO2 Emissiefactoren 2026 providing a Dutch standard list of CO2 emission factors.
