Gunsan Power Generation Division generated electricity[LNG]
Korea · Cradle to gate · Reference year 2024
Each kilowatt-hour of this product counts as 0.51 kg CO₂e up to the factory gate over the modules its EPD declares: 0.0448 for pre-manufacturing and 0.465 for manufacturing.
Value per kWh, over the modules the EPD declares

Where 0.51 comes from
- Pre-manufacturingRaw materials and inputsScope 3, cat. 30.04488.8%
- Scope 20.46591.2%
Σ 0.51: the two declared modules add up to the total.
Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol
Scope 3, category 3 0.0448 Scope 2 0.465
The fuel behind it and the energy lost on the way to you are Scope 3, category 3.
You buy the energy, so its generation is your Scope 2.

Gases
KEITI publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.
From KEITI's record to a comparable factor
KEITI publishes this EPD as one declared value. Each field as printed, and what open-climate.ai made of it.
The total and its modules
Use a module on its own when you report it in a different year or scope; never add one to the total.
