Emission factor from CO2emissiefactoren.be 2026.06
Motorcycle - electric, Average electricity mix
Belgium · Well-to-use · 2026 onwards
Each kilometre one vehicle drives from 2026 counts as 0.052 kg CO₂e: 0 from the fuel it burns and 0.052 for producing and delivering that fuel.

- LoadHow full a lorry, train or ship runs with goods. A passenger factor counts passengers or vehicles, not tonnes, so no load applies.
- Not applicable
- Vehicle sizeThe vehicle's class, by weight or capacity. CO2emissiefactoren.be does not say which size this factor assumes.
- Not stated
- Distance bandFlights are priced by distance band, because take-off and climb burn a large share of a short flight's fuel. Road, rail and sea factors apply to a trip of any length.
- Any distance, not banded
- Cabin classA business seat takes more of the cabin than an economy one, so it carries more of the flight's emissions. First class on a long-haul flight counts four times economy.

Well-to-use · Excl. biogenic CO₂
- 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). Learn more
- Well-to-use
- Fuel supply, fuel combustion, purchased energy and network losses
- 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
- Not stated by the publisher
- CO₂e basisWhich carbon the CO₂e counts. Fossil only leaves out biogenic CO₂ and land use; net total counts every pool, net of removals. The same activity on two bases is two different numbers. Learn more
- Excl. biogenic CO₂
- Not split by gas; CO₂e only

What this number covers
The path of one vehicle-kilometre, from the oil well to the end of the trip.
Fuel production
Extracting, refining and delivering the fuel
IncludedScope 3, cat. 60.052Vehicle operation
Burning the fuel on the road, spread over the average load
IncludedScope 3, cat. 60Effect at altitude
Contrails and other warming from burning fuel high up. Flights only.
Not applicable on the roadYour trip
1 km driven. The factor is per vehicle-kilometre.
= 0.052
Outside this boundary
- Building the vehicle
- Roads and depots
Vehicles and infrastructure sit outside every well-to-use factor. Some libraries price building the vehicle as a factor of its own.
Gases
CO2emissiefactoren.be publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.
From CO2emissiefactoren.be's record to a comparable factor
CO2emissiefactoren.be publishes this factor as one Dutch record with two sub-lines, and a new record every year. Here is each field as printed and what open-climate.ai made of it.
The total and its parts
Use a part on its own when you report the fuel you burn separately from its production; never add a part to the total.
