What this number covers

What ProBas counts in the figure for one kilowatt-hour, phase by phase.

  1. Upstream

    • Fuel supply chain
    Included

  2. Production

    • Fuel combustion
    Included

  3. Also counted

    • Plant and equipment
    Included

  4. Your meter

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

    = 0.314

Outside this boundary

  • Manufacturing

ProBas does not count any of this in the figure for one kilowatt-hour.

Gases

Basis: Excl. biogenic CO₂FossilBio CH₄Land useBio CO₂GHG Protocol and IPCC inventories

  • Fossil CO₂0.30898.1%
  • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)0.003311.1%
  • Methane (CH₄)0.002550.8%

Σ 0.308 + 0.00255 + 0.00331 = 0.314.

Also printed, as zero: sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆).

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.
