Emissions from heating based on final energy consumption as published in the report Harmonized Austrian Direct and Indirect GHG Emission Factors for Relevant Energy Sources & Technologies – Table 1. Indirect GHG emissions are based on a LCA and include for example emissions from the construction/operation and maintenance of facilities and equipment for the extraction/processing/transport/storage/conversion and distribution of upstream energy sources and activities related to heat supply
