What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the waste it is made from to the boiler.

Your meter
1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.
Burning it
In the boiler or kiln: CO₂ from the fossil and biogenic carbon in the waste, with a little CH₄ and N₂O
0.264

= 0.264 per kWh

Outside this boundary

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

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

Gases

Basis: Fossil onlyFossilBio CH₄Land useBio CO₂EN 15804 GWP-fossil

Fossil CO₂0.264

The CO₂e counts fossil carbon only; biogenic CO₂, biogenic methane and land-use carbon are left out.
