Where 3.66 comes from
open-climate.ai adds up the gases SEMARNAT publishes, each weighted by its warming potential.
Reporting this kilogram under the GHG Protocol
Scope 1 3.66
Gas that escapes from equipment you run is a direct emission, so it 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.

Own operations · Excl. biogenic CO₂
- BoundaryOwn operationsThe direct emissions of the producing industry or activity itself, per unit of its output or spend: its own fuel combustion, process and fugitive releases. Learn more
- Own operations
- Fugitive releases
- 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 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

The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.
