About this factor
Description by open-climate.ai
open-climate.ai added the value of 0 for a green contract to this factor. Under the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, electricity covered by an energy attribute certificate carries the emission rate of the plant that generated it. That rate is 0 for wind, solar and hydro, the case the value of 0 stands for. A certificate from a plant that burns fuel, such as biomass, carries a rate above 0. Center for Resource Solutions does not publish this value. Transmission and distribution losses and the fuel supply chain are not zero under a green contract.
