What this number covers

The path of one kilogram of this fuel, from the well to your flame.

  1. Your record

    1 kg in your records. The factor is per kg.

  2. Burning it

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

    2.79

= 2.79 per kg

Outside this boundary

  • Producing and delivering the fuel
  • Making the boiler that burns it
  • Building the pipelines and the network

CO2emissiefactoren.be counts only burning the fuel, not producing and delivering it or the things built to extract, move and burn it.
