About this factor
Publisher's descriptionmachine-translated
National CO2 emission factor for electricity production, heat production, and electricity consumption. including renewables, net of contributions from pumping and storage. also considering CO2 emissions for heat production (heat converted into kWh).
Applicability
Denominator is gross output measured at the generator terminals, before station own use and before network losses - not the kWh a buyer meters. Heat output is converted to kWh and included.
