Where 0.144 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 0.144

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 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
0.144

= 0.144 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

Fossil CO₂0.10874.9%
Methane (CH₄)0.032222.3%
Nitrous oxide (N₂O)0.003932.7%

Σ 0.108 + 0.0322 + 0.00393 = 0.144.

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.

From Naturvårdsverket's record to a comparable factor

Naturvårdsverket 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.
