Emission results
CO2e - CO2 - CH4 - N2O
Data Transformation
The source reports emissions in gCH4/unit and gN2O/unit which have been converted to kgCH4/unit and kgN2O/unit (where unit is L, kg, km) to ensure consistency in the database.

Methodology description

The dataset covers emission factors for 2023 and 2024 and is expressed in kgCO₂e using AR6 GWP-100 values, with individual gas breakdowns (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) also provided. Climatiq has extracted three categories of emission factors from the Factores de Emisión 2007–2024 Excel file:

Stationary combustion (fixed installations) — fuel combustion emission factors in kgCO₂e per unit of fuel, covering fossil fuels and biomass fuels including biogas, wood, pellets, and biofuels. Biogenic CO₂ values for biodiesel and biogasoline are calculated using linear regression on the percentage of biofuel in the fuel mix.

Mobile combustion (vehicles and machinery) — fuel-based factors (per litre or kg) and distance-based factors (per km) for road transport, covering passenger vehicles and machinery across fuel types.

Electricity — supplier-specific emission factors (kgCO₂e/kWh) for Spanish electricity suppliers, covering both supplier mix and residual mix (after redemption of Guarantees of Origin).
