Where 0.336 comes from

Published as one number

Boverket prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up and no split by gas.

Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol

Scope 1 + Scope 3, category 3 0.336

This one figure covers both together; no split between them is given.

You burn the fuel, so its combustion is your Scope 1.

Supplying the fuel is Scope 3, category 3 for whoever burns it.

What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the well to your flame.

  1. Well-to-tank

    1. Extraction

      Getting the fuel out of the ground

    2. Processing

      Treating it to the quality it is sold at

    3. Transport

      Moving it to your site

  2. Your meter

    1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.

  3. Burning it

    In your boiler, furnace or engine: CO₂, with a little CH₄ and N₂O

= 0.336 per kWh

Outside this boundary

  • Making the boiler that burns it
  • Building the pipelines and the network

Boverket counts the fuel, not the things built to extract, move and burn it.

From Boverket's record to a comparable factor

About this factor

From Boverket

What it is

The fossil petrol has an impact of 93.3 g CO₂e/MJ according to “FQD Implementing Directive” 2015/652/EU.

What it includes

The calculation of greenhouse gas emissions according to the reduction obligation was based on the standard values for fossil fuels established in an additional directive to the so-called “FQD Implementing Directive” 2015/652/EU and the blend of biodiesel. These values were: • Petrol 93.3 g CO₂e/MJ • Diesel 95.1 g CO₂e/MJ

Where it applies

Petrol is bought and burned in various machines and vehicles, i.e. a WtW (Well to Wheel) scope. Environmental data is representative for fossil petrol that can be used for foreign transports, or transports made in Sweden by foreign vehicles.
