Energy v1.3

  • Climatiq has released a minor update to the energy feature, which is now available. The update includes new regional heat coverage, significant electricity expansion, and new fuel types with methodology improvements.
  • This is a non-breaking change from v1.2, and so you can just update the URL you use and immediately start using it. This is released as a separate version, so that you have control over when to adopt the changes which can result in material changes to your estimations.
  • This is the changelog & upgrade guide for v1.3. See our API versioning guide for how API versioning works at Climatiq.
  • This document lists the changes between v1.2 and v1.3.

Changes between v1.2 and v1.3

Heat and Steam

  • New regions: Belgium (BE) and Netherlands (NL) now supported natively using CO2 Emissiefactoren as the data source
  • Updated data: Existing regions (DE, GB, US) refreshed with latest emission factors

Electricity

New national data sources:

  • AT: UBA Austria for 2024 data
  • BE: CO2 Emissiefactoren Belgium for 2018+ data
  • FI: Statistics Finland for 2024 data
  • MX: SEMARNAT 2024 data
  • NO: NVE for 2024 data
  • UA: DiXi Group 2023 data

New regional coverage:

  • AU-NWSI: new Australian sub-region added via DISER
  • 45 new IEA regions (coverage expanded from 162 to 207 countries), including small nations in Africa, the Pacific, and Caribbean

Improved T&D coverage:

  • NL: now uses native T&D data and WTT factor (previously fell back to global defaults)

New supplier-specific coverage:

  • Spain
  • Hong Kong

Fuel Combustion

Methodology changes:

  • Biogenic emission factors are now constrained to match the source of the combustion EF, previously they could be from a different source, this means in some cases biogenic estimates will not longer be provided
  • IPCC is now the highest-priority source for global region fallbacks (above BEIS)

New fuel types — a selection of notable additions:

  • AdBlue, Biogasoline (bio_100 and net variants), Biogas (including landfill gas)
  • New solid biomass types: mixed forest firewood, wood pellets (multiple moisture variants), olive pit, sawdust and wood chips, sewage gas, and others
  • New fossil/other: additional diesel and gasoline blend variants, patent fuel, paraffin wax, peat, lignite briquettes, motor gasoline E100/E85
  • Marine fuel aliases: hfo, lfo, mdo_mgo
  • Many _net (net calorific value) variants for existing fossil fuels

Normalized fuel types:

There were different fuel type identifiers in use for the same fuel from different sources, we have normalized these. The old IDs will continue to work but changing to use the preferred ones will give you access to updates and other sources.

  • bioethanol_bio_100 → ethanol_bio_100
  • peat_bio_100 → peat

New data sources: IPCC (global fallback), MITECO (Spain), CO2 Emissiefactoren Belgium, CBAM, Netherlands Enterprise Agency, Statistics Finland, Smart Freight Centre India, UNFCCC / Turkish Statistical Institute
