| Methodology description | The dataset contains the Dutch standard list of CO2 emission factors published by CO2emissiefactoren.nl, retrieved from the annual Excel download. A panel of experts updates the list every year, and new versions are published in January. The platform does not calculate the factors itself. They come from Dutch scientific research, such as studies by CE Delft, and use national statistics from CBS (Statistics Netherlands). According to the source, factors for electricity, natural gas, biogas and heat are specific to the Netherlands. Fuel and freight transport factors can be used across Europe, passenger transport factors across Western Europe, and refrigerant factors worldwide. The source publishes most factors in three parts:
Electricity For electricity, the source provides a location-based factor for the average Dutch production mix, which is also used when the supplier is unknown. It also provides market-based factors for grey electricity and for individual renewable sources. Direct emissions from renewable electricity are set to zero. The source excludes emissions from building and dismantling power plants and generation equipment from the WTW total. Climatiq publishes these separately as plant_amortization. The electricity mix factors include distribution losses in the Dutch grid. District heating The source reports district heating factors for two activities: heat supplied through an average Dutch heat network, and heat supplied from residual heat without co-firing. Both factors are reported at the end user, so they include distribution losses in the heat network. The underlying CE Delft methodology uses an average distribution loss of 25%, based on losses reported by heat companies. For the average heat network, upstream emissions also include the electricity generation lost because heat is extracted from power plants. Climatiq publishes the source factors as follows:
Climatiq has also split the production emission factor into two derived factors, so that use-phase emissions and network-loss emissions can be reported separately:

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.
