Where 0.0215 comes from
ProBas prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up.
Reporting this kilowatt-hour under the GHG Protocol
Scope 3, category 3 0.0215
Supplying the fuel is Scope 3, category 3 for whoever burns it.
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.

- 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

What this number covers
The path of one kilowatt-hour of this fuel, from the well to your flame. ProBas also counts its share of the plant and equipment.
Well-to-tank
Extraction
Getting the fuel out of the ground
Processing
Treating it to the quality it is sold at
Transport
Moving it to your site
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
= 0.0215 per kWh
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 moreFossilBio CH₄Land useBio CO₂GHG Protocol and IPCC inventories
- Fossil CO₂0.019791.8%
- Methane (CH₄)0.001677.8%
- Nitrous oxide (N₂O)0.00008160.4%
Σ 0.0197 + 0.00167 + 0.0000816 = 0.0215.
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.
