About this factor
Description by open-climate.ai
Added by open-climate.ai: AIB's published generation factor for this grid (Norway) plus open-climate.ai's estimates of the fuel supply chain upstream of generation and of the electricity lost in transmission and distribution, with its own fuel supply chain. For 2025 (residual mix): 0.43093 kg CO2/kWh for generation, 0.083780311 kg CO2e/kWh for the fuel supply chain upstream of generation and 0.000463115 kg CO2e/kWh for the electricity lost in transmission and distribution with its own fuel supply chain, 0.515173426 kg CO2e/kWh in total. Under the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (Appendix B), losses are reported with the location-based factor whatever the mix, so a market-based or green value of this factor carries the same loss part as a location-based one. Quality: low, the lowest of its parts. Sources: AIB (AIB terms of use, attribution required); Eurostat energy balances (nrg_bal_c) (CC BY 4.0, loss share computed from distribution losses and electricity available for final consumption); UK Government GHG conversion factors (Open Government Licence v3.0); Ember yearly electricity data (CC BY 4.0, fuel shares recomputed as shares of fossil emissions); co2emissiefactoren.nl (co2emissiefactoren.nl terms of use). Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Not published or endorsed by AIB, Eurostat, the UK Government, Ember or co2emissiefactoren.nl. Each mix of this factor has its own value, the sum of its own parts.
