About this factor
Description by open-climate.ai
Added by open-climate.ai: eGRID's published generation factor for this grid (WECC Southwest (eGRID)) plus open-climate.ai's estimates of the fuel supply chain upstream of generation and of the electricity lost in transmission and distribution, with its own fuel supply chain. For 2023 (production mix): 0.3203219 kg CO2e/kWh for generation, 0.0546101 kg CO2e/kWh for the fuel supply chain upstream of generation and 0.0162321 kg CO2e/kWh for the electricity lost in transmission and distribution with its own fuel supply chain, 0.3911641 kg CO2e/kWh in total. Under the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (Appendix B), losses are reported with the location-based factor whatever the mix, so a market-based or green value of this factor carries the same loss part as a location-based one. Quality: low, the lowest of its parts. Sources: eGRID (US Government work, public domain); eGRID grid gross loss rates (US Government work, public domain); UK Government GHG conversion factors (Open Government Licence v3.0); eGRID subregion resource mix (US Government work, public domain); co2emissiefactoren.nl (co2emissiefactoren.nl terms of use).
