Where 28.9 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

open-climate.ai adds up the gases MEE publishes, each weighted by its warming potential.

Reporting this item under the GHG Protocol

Scope 1 28.9

Gas that escapes from equipment you run is a direct emission, so it is your Scope 1.

What this number covers

What MEE counts in the figure for 1 item, phase by phase.

  1. Your record

    1 item in your records. The factor is per item.

    = 28.9

Outside this boundary

  • Power the unit uses
  • Fugitive releases

MEE does not count any of this in the figure for 1 item.

  • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)28.9

Each gas is converted to CO₂e with AR6 100-year warming potentials; only fossil carbon counts, so biogenic CO₂, biogenic methane and land-use carbon are left out.

From MEE's record to a comparable factor

MEE publishes the inputs; open-climate.ai computed this value from them. Here is each field as printed and what open-climate.ai made of it.
