Where 1.03 comes from
Naturvårdsverket prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up.
Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol
Scope 1 1.03
You burn the fuel, so its combustion is your Scope 1.
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.

- BoundaryCombustionDirect emissions from burning the fuel at the point of use, in a boiler, furnace, engine or vehicle (for a vehicle, tank-to-wheel). Learn more
- Combustion
- Fuel combustion
- 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
- None: the value counts CO₂ alone
- CO₂ weighs 1 in every IPCC report, so no GWP applies
- CO₂e basisWhich carbon the CO₂e counts. Fossil only leaves out biogenic CO₂ and land use; net total counts every pool, net of removals. The same activity on two bases is two different numbers. Learn more
- Excl. biogenic CO₂
- All of it is CO₂

All values
35 values, one per year back to 1990. Every one is biogenic CO₂ and land use excluded, so the years compare directly.

What this number covers
The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the well to your flame.
Your meter
1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.
Burning it
In your boiler, furnace or engine: CO₂, with a little CH₄ and N₂O
1.03
= 1.03 per kWh
Outside this boundary
- Producing and delivering the fuel
- Making the boiler that burns it
- Building the pipelines and the network
Naturvårdsverket counts only burning the fuel, not producing and delivering it or the things built to extract, move and burn it.
Gases
Basis: Excl. biogenic CO₂Biogenic CO₂ and land-use change are left out; fossil CO₂, the other greenhouse gases and methane from biogenic sources are counted. Learn more
- Fossil CO₂1.03
The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.
