Each kilogram of this fuel from 2024 counts as 3.97 kg CO₂e: 3.21 from burning it and 0.754 for producing it and bringing it to you (estimated).

Σ 3.97: open-climate.ai adds up the two parts. SSB prints fuel combustion. open-climate.ai estimates fuel supply from other published figures.
Reporting this kilogram under the GHG Protocol
Scope 1 3.21 Scope 3, category 3 0.754
You burn the fuel, so its combustion is your Scope 1.
Supplying the fuel is Scope 3, category 3 for whoever burns it.

- BoundaryWell-to-useOne unit of energy as consumed, priced from the well to the point of use: the well-to-tank chain plus the burn for a fuel; generation, its well-to-tank and the transmission and distribution losses for a delivered carrier (electricity, steam or hot water, chilled water).

- Well-to-use
- Fuel supply and fuel combustion
- 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
- Mixed IPCC reports, 100-year horizon
- Not on the record; set from SSB's method notes
- CO₂e basisWhich carbon the CO₂e counts. Fossil only leaves out biogenic CO₂ and land use; net total counts every pool, net of removals. The same activity on two bases is two different numbers. Learn more
- Excl. biogenic CO₂
- Not split by gas; CO₂e only

What this number covers
The path of one kilogram of this fuel, from the well to your flame. SSB gives one figure for the first three steps together.
Well-to-tank0.754Scope 3, cat. 3
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 record
1 kg in your records. The factor is per kg.
Burning it
In your boiler, furnace or engine: CO₂, with a little CH₄ and N₂O
Scope 13.21
0.754 + 3.21 = 3.97 per kg
Outside this boundary
- Making the boiler that burns it
- Building the pipelines and the network
SSB counts the fuel, not the things built to extract, move and burn it.
Gases
SSB publishes this factor as CO₂e only, with no split by gas. The CO₂e leaves biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon out; methane from biogenic sources is counted.
From SSB's record to a comparable factor
SSB publishes one of the two parts; open-climate.ai estimated the others and added them all up to this total. Here is each field as printed and what open-climate.ai made of it.
The total and its parts
Each part has its own page. Use a part on its own when you report Scope 1 and Scope 3 separately; never add a part to the total.
