Where 0.0576 comes from
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 0.0576
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.
The factor, standardised
Every factor on open-climate.ai answers the same questions in the same words, whatever the publisher. Open any ⓘ for the definition.

- BoundaryWell-to-useOne unit of energy as consumed, priced from the well to the point of use: the well-to-tank chain plus the burn for a fuel; generation, its well-to-tank and the transmission and distribution losses for a delivered carrier (electricity, steam or hot water, chilled water).

- Fuel supply and fuel combustion
- GWP methodWhich IPCC assessment report's warming potentials convert each gas to CO₂e, and over how many years the warming is counted (GWP100: 100 years). Learn more
- IPCC AR4, 100-year horizon
- As printed by Boverket
- CO₂e basisWhich carbon the CO₂e counts. Fossil only leaves out biogenic methane, land-use change and biogenic CO₂; excl. biogenic CO₂ counts biogenic methane but not the other two; net total counts every pool, net of removals. The same activity on two bases is two different numbers. Learn more

What this number covers
The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the crops or residues it is made from to your engine or boiler.
Fuel supply
Feedstock
Growing the crops or collecting the residues
Processing
Pressing, fermenting or refining it into fuel
Transport
Moving it to your site
Your meter
1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.
Burning it
In your engine or boiler: mostly CO₂ the plants took up as they grew, with a little CH₄ and N₂O
= 0.0576 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 climate impact from HVO is 16 g CO₂e/MJ, and the share of renewable content is 99.9 percent (Energimyndigheten Drivmedel 2024).What it includes
The calculation of greenhouse gas emissions according to the reduction obligation is based on the standard values for the fossil fuels established in an additional directive to the fuel quality directive 2015/652/EU and an admixture of biodiesel.Where it applies
HVO100 is bought and burned in various machines and vehicles, i.e. a WtW (Well to Wheel) scope.
Environmental data is representative of the HVO100 diesel purchased in Sweden.Source and licence
