| Methodology description | The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) publishes an annual electricity disclosure for Norway, as required under the revised EU Electricity Market Directive (2009/72/EC). Power suppliers are obliged to disclose information on their energy mix to consumers; suppliers that do not purchase Guarantees of Origin (GOs) must refer to NVE's calculated electricity disclosure in their consumer statements. The disclosure is based on European trade with GOs. Climatiq extracts emission intensity of total electricity consumption (physically delivered grid-average mix) in Norway. This emission factor accounts for greenhouse gas emissions from electricity consumed in Norway including both domestically produced and imported electricity with trade adjustments reflecting exchanges with the European power system.

IPCC
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a United Nations body that assesses the scientific evidence related to climate change and offers guidance to governments and policymakers on climate-related issues. IPCC provides a range of emission factors in their reports including energy-related emissions, industrial processes, agriculture, and land use and waste management activities.
