About this factor
Publisher's descriptionmachine-translated
Carbon dioxide emission factors from gross thermal power generation by fuel category. CO2 emissions related to the fuel energy share for electricity production. § In 2017 and 2018, the natural gas emission factor includes the share of electricity production from biomethane, which has no CO2 emissions.
Applicability
Denominator is gross output measured at the generator terminals, before station own use and before network losses - not the kWh a buyer meters.
