Where 0.778 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

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

Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol

Scope 2 0.778

You buy the energy, so its generation is your Scope 2.

What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour, from the fuel to your meter. Not every step on it is counted; what is left out is listed below.

Generation
Producing the electricity at the power plants that make up the mix
Included0.778
Your meter
1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.
= 0.778

Outside this boundary

Electricity lost on the network
Producing and delivering the plants' fuel
Building the power plants

MEE counts burning fuel at the plants, not producing and delivering that fuel or building the plants.

Gases

Basis: Fossil onlyFossilBio CH₄Land useBio CO₂EN 15804 GWP-fossil

Fossil CO₂0.778

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

From MEE's record to a comparable factor
