About Ember
Ember is an independent non-profit energy think tank that publishes open electricity emission factors, calculated by combining country-level power generation data with fuel-specific emissions coefficients to estimate total emissions and carbon intensity, as described in its methodology document: https://files.ember-energy.org/public-downloads/ember_electricity_data_methodology.pdf

| Methodology description | The Ember emission factors are domestic electricity generation mix (production mix), based on electricity generated within the country, excluding imports. Even when net imports are mentioned to be included, for a specific country, the emissions still reflect the production mix rather than a grid mix. |
| Limitation / key issues to note | The dataset is not aligned with GHG Protocol Scope 2 and Scope 3 (Category 3.3) methodologies for electricity emissions, as it combines both upstream and generation-related emissions within a single factor. |
