Emission factor from MEE v2
Electricity Consumption-Average Carbon Dioxide Emission Factor of Electricity-Provincial Average Carbon Dioxide Emission Factor of Electricity - Jiangxi
China, Jiangxi (江西) · Well-to-use · Any year
Each kilowatt-hour drawn from the grid counts as 0.711 kg CO₂e: 0.584 at the power plants, 0.103 for the fuel supplied to the power plants (estimated) and 0.0244 for the electricity lost on the network (estimated).

EstimatedAn estimate by open-climate.ai, not a number the publisher printed. Where an electricity publisher prints generation only, we add the grid losses and the fuel chain behind it, computed by one stated rule from the publisher's own generation value and public statistics.

Σ 0.711: open-climate.ai adds up the three parts. MEE prints generation. open-climate.ai estimates fuel supply and network losses from other published figures.
Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol
Scope 2 0.584 3.3 Energy upstream 0.127
You buy the energy, so its generation is your Scope 2.
The fuel behind it and the energy lost on the way to you are Scope 3, category 3.
The factor, standardised
Every factor on open-climate.ai answers the same questions in the same words, whatever the publisher. Open any ⓘ for the definition.

- BoundaryWell-to-useOne unit of energy as consumed, priced from the well to the point of use: the well-to-tank chain plus the burn for a fuel; generation, its well-to-tank and the transmission and distribution losses for a delivered carrier (electricity, steam or hot water, chilled water).

- Well-to-use
- Fuel supply, generation and network losses
- Calculation approachLocation-based uses the average grid mix where the electricity was consumed; market-based uses the supplier contract or the residual mix. The two can differ by an order of magnitude on the same kilowatt-hour, so they are never interchangeable. Learn more
- Location-based, production mix
- GWP methodWhich IPCC assessment report's warming potentials convert each gas to CO₂e, and over how many years the warming is counted (GWP100: 100 years). Learn more
- IPCC AR5, 100-year horizon
- Not on the record; set from MEE's method notes
- CO₂e basisWhich carbon the CO₂e counts. Fossil only leaves out biogenic methane, land-use change and biogenic CO₂; excl. biogenic CO₂ counts biogenic methane but not the other two; net total counts every pool, net of removals. The same activity on two bases is two different numbers. Learn more

Gases
MEE publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. 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
MEE publishes one of the three parts; open-climate.ai estimated the others and added them all up to this total. Here is each field as printed and what open-climate.ai made of it.
The total and its parts
Each part has its own page. Use a part on its own when you report Scope 2 and Scope 3 separately; never add a part to the total.
