About ADEME
ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique) is the French Agency for Ecological Transition and offers a wide range of emission factors to support the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in France. These emission factors are used to estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with various activities, such as energy consumption and transportation.

| Type of data | Activity-based |
| Emission results | CO2e |
| Data Transformation | The source reports constituent gases in CO2e. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of each gas is used to derive the individual gas emission factor. Specifically we divided CH4 fossil by 29.8, while CH4 biogenic by 27, and N2O by 273.
The source reports emissions in kgCO2e/kEUR, which have been converted to kgCO2e/EUR to ensure consistency. |

| Methodology description | The Base Carbone is designed to allow firms to report their "Bilan Carbone" (greenhouse gas inventory) under Article 75 of the Loi Grenelle II. The methodology is distinct from but close to ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14069 standards and the GHG Protocol. It uses GWP-100 from AR6. The dataset splits most emission factors into two types of entry: Élément (element / item / activity) and Poste (category, or lifecycle stage). The "Élément" entry is usually the sum of the "Poste" entries. We have converted the "Élément" names into LCA activities grouped under the same activity_id (based on the Poste name). For example, fuel emission factors typically have two elements: "Combustion" and "Amont" which are translated into lifecycle stages "fuel combustion" and "upstream". Note that the lifecycle stage (Poste) entries do not necessarily align with scopes 1, 2 and 3 of the GHG Protocol. For energy use, for example, "Amont" (upstream) typically includes amortisation of assets that is not strictly included in Scope 3.3 (Fuel and energy related activity). Not all emission factors in the dataset are split into constituent gases and lifecycle stages; these are the rows labelled as "élément non décomposé" under the "Structure" source data field. We have taken the English translations of the names and lifecycle stages provided by the source. The units are taken from the field "Unité français". The year is taken from the activity name where this is provided or otherwise from the later of the "Date de modification" and "Date de création". CO2e values are taken from the field "Total poste non décomposé". Constituent gases are taken from the fields: CO2f -> CO2 CH4f -> CH4 fossil CH4b -> CH4 biogenic N2O -> N2O The Climatiq "Other gases field" is the balance of the CO2e total and the sum of the constituent parts. This is usually equal to the sum of the source fields "Valeur gaz supplémentaire" and "Autres GES". We have included only rows labelled as "Statut de l'élément: Valide générique". We have excluded other rows as either being out of date / not valid or covered by another dataset. In particular we have not included the "Agribalyse" emission factors. See https://base-empreinte.ademe.fr/documentation/base-carbone for full methodology (registration required). |
| Limitation / key issues to note | Note that the lifecycle stage (Poste) entries do not necessarily align with scopes 1, 2 and 3 of the GHG Protocol. This means that some emission factors for fuels and electricity have not been included in the Climatiq energy endpoint. |
