| Methodology description | The dataset provides harmonised Austrian GHG emission factors for energy carriers across three end-use sectors: space heating, electricity, and mobility. All factors are expressed in CO₂e using GWP-100 values and cover both direct emissions — from on-site combustion — and upstream (well-to-gate) emissions from the production and supply of energy carriers. Upstream emissions are modelled using GEMIS 5.1 (Global Emission Model for Integrated Systems), adapted to Austrian conditions, and draw on the Austrian air pollutant and GHG inventory (OLI) as well as Statistics Austria energy balances. |

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 We use "IPCC 2007 (superseded), climate change, global warming potential (GWP100)" for AR4 CO2e emisison factor values and "IPCC 2013, climate change, global warming potential (GWP100)"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