One footprint, in every year's money

Eurostat priced this supply chain in each year's euros from 2008 to 2024. For the other years we restate the same emissions with the Austria price index, from a year Eurostat priced. Pick the year of your spend.

Which price, and which warming horizon

Match the price to your invoice, and keep one warming horizon across your whole inventory.

Purchaser price or producer price

The purchaser price is what you paid: the producer's price plus the wholesale and retail margins and the transport to the shop. Eurostat publishes basic prices, the producer's side.

Warming horizon and characterisation model

This factor is published for one set only: AR5, 100 years. Every other horizon and model: not published.

What this number covers

The supply chain behind one euro spent, up to the factory gate: every tier counted in one total, none reported alone.

  1. Production

    • Fuel combustion
    • Fugitive releases
    • Manufacturing
    Partly included0.00232
  2. Your bill

    1 EUR of output at basic prices, before taxes and trade margins. The factor is per EUR here.

    = 0.00232

Outside this boundary

  • Imported inputs
  • Inbound transport
  • Raw materials
  • Upstream fuel (well-to-tank)
  • Packaging
  • Purchased electricity and heat
  • Business travel
  • Capital goods: buildings, equipment
  • Staff commuting
  • Overheads and services

Eurostat leaves investment out of its supply chains. A capital good you buy is reported under Scope 3, category 2, with its own factor.

Gases

Basis: Excl. biogenic CO₂FossilBio CH₄Land useBio CO₂GHG Protocol and IPCC inventories

  • HFCS0.0017676.5%
  • Fossil CO₂0.00054323.5%

Σ 0.000543 + 0.00176 = 0.00230721, which Eurostat rounds to 0.00232.

Also printed, as zero: methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), PFCS and other gases.

Each gas is converted to CO₂e with AR5 100-year warming potentials; biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon are left out, while methane from biogenic sources is counted.
