Where 0.00195 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

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

Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol

Scope 1 0.00195

You burn the fuel, so its combustion is your Scope 1.

What this number covers

The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the crops or residues it is made from to your engine or boiler.

  1. Your meter

    1 kWh used. The factor is per kWh measured here.

  2. Burning it

    In your engine or boiler: mostly CO₂ the plants took up as they grew, with a little CH₄ and N₂O

    0.00195

= 0.00195 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 CO₂

  • Biogenic CO₂0.29299.3%
  • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)0.0009830.3%
  • Biogenic methane (CH₄)0.0009720.3%

Σ 0.000972 + 0.000983 + 0.292 = 0.293555, more than the 0.00195 total Naturvårdsverket prints.

Each gas is converted to CO₂e with AR6 100-year warming potentials; biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon are left out, while methane from biogenic sources is counted.
