| Methodology description | The Fuel Classification (Polttoaineluokitus) dataset is published annually by Statistics Finland as the official reference for fuel combustion emission factors, including fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. Emission factors are based on Finland’s national greenhouse gas inventory methodology for fuel classification and combustion emissions. Statistics Finland primarily reports fuel emission factors on a net calorific value basis. For selected fuels, including biogas, biomethane (grid), biomethane (off-grid), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and natural gas, gross calorific value factors are also provided and are derived from net calorific values using a conversion factor of 1.1088, as reported by Statistics Finland. |
| Limitation / key issues to note | The emission factors represent direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion only and exclude methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and other greenhouse gases; therefore, they should not be interpreted as full CO2-equivalent (CO2e) emission factors. The dataset accounts for combustion-stage emissions only and excludes upstream or life-cycle emissions associated with fuel extraction, production, processing, and transportation. |
