| 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. |

Covenant of Mayors
The Covenant of Mayors (CoM) collection, maintained by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), provides datasets, methodological guidance, and technical resources to support local and regional climate action under the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy initiative. The collection includes greenhouse gas emission factors for electricity and local energy use, alongside supporting methodologies for greenhouse gas accounting and climate planning.

CBAM
The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a regulatory tool designed to measure carbon emissions attributed to the production of high-carbon goods imported into the EU, aiming to promote cleaner practices in industrial production across non-EU countries. To this end, the European Commission publishes emission factors providing the necessary metrics for compliance and environmental integrity.

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 We use "IPCC 2007 (superseded), climate change, global warming potential (GWP100)" for AR4 CO2e emisison factor values and "IPCC 2013, climate change, global warming potential (GWP100)" for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.
