Emission factor from IGES v11.7

Grid electricity generation, build margin (CDM) - CDM EB; Ex-ante

Cabo Verde, Brava grid · Generation · 2020 onwards

Each kilowatt-hour generated this way from 2020 counts as 0.58 kg CO₂e at the power plants.

Where 0.58 comes from

Published as one number

IGES prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up.

Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol

Scope 2 0.58

You buy the energy, so its generation is your Scope 2.

What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour, from the fuel to your meter. Not every step on it is counted; what is left out is listed below.

  1. Generation

    Producing the electricity at the power plants that make up the mix

    Included0.58

  2. Your meter

    1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.

    = 0.58

Outside this boundary

  • Electricity lost on the network
  • Producing and delivering the plants' fuel
  • Building the power plants

IGES counts burning fuel at the plants, not producing and delivering that fuel or building the plants.

  • Fossil CO₂0.58

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