Where 0.222 comes from

Published as one number

JRC-IDEES prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up.

Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol

Scope 1 0.222

You burn the fuel, so its combustion is your Scope 1.

What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the well to your flame.

  1. Your meter

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

  2. Burning it

    In your boiler, furnace or engine: CO₂, with a little CH₄ and N₂O

    0.222

= 0.222 per kWh

Outside this boundary

  • Producing and delivering the fuel
  • Making the boiler that burns it
  • Building the pipelines and the network

JRC-IDEES counts only burning the fuel, not producing and delivering it or the things built to extract, move and burn it.

Gases

Basis: Fossil only

  • Fossil CO₂0.222

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