What the 33 factor pages say

One chart per unit, since a kilogram and a kWh do not compare. Colour is the boundary, what the factor counts; every row also names it.

Per kg · 22 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 10 times the last
From 0.115 (Organic - Compost derived from food and garden waste - Primary material production, DESNZ) to 2,490 (Refrigerant R410a, ÖKOBAUDAT) kgCO₂e per kg. 4 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per JPY · 5 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0
From 0.00103 (Biological product (except diagnostic) manufacturing, Open CEDA) to 0.00811 (Synthetic dye and pigment manufacturing, Open CEDA) kgCO₂e per JPY.

From 0.26 (AdBlue, MITECO) to 0.26 (AdBlue - Camiones (N2, N3), MITECO) kgCO₂e per L.

Per CAD

OpenIO-Canada puts Paints, coatings and adhesive products at 0.0647 kgCO₂e/CAD (Cradle to gate, 2022), the only factor page in this unit.

Per USD

USEEIO puts Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing at 0.959 kgCO₂e/USD (Cradle to store gate, 2023), the only factor page in this unit.
