| 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.

UBA
The Umweltbundesamt (UBA) is the Federal Environment Agency of Germany and is responsible for promoting sustainable development through scientific research, providing advice on a wide range of environmental issues to the government, businesses, organisations, and the public. The UBA reports emission factors for electricity, fuel, and transport among others.

ecoinvent
ecoinvent is a Swiss not-for-profit association that provides a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database that supports various types of sustainability assessments. This data enables users to gain a deeper understanding of the environmental impacts of their products and services. ecoinvent provides multiple climate impact indicators. We use "IPCC 2007 (superseded), climate change, global warming potential (GWP100)" for AR4 CO2e emisison factor values and "IPCC 2013, climate change, global warming potential (GWP100)" for AR5 values.
