Where 1.33 comes from
Syke prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up and no split by gas.
Reporting this litre under the GHG Protocol
Scope 1 + Scope 3, category 3 1.33
This one figure covers both together; no split between them is given.
You burn the fuel, so its combustion is your Scope 1.
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.

- 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
- Not stated by the publisher
- 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 litre of this fuel, from the crops or residues it is made from to your engine or boiler.
Fuel supply
Feedstock
Growing the crops or collecting the residues
Processing
Pressing, fermenting or refining it into fuel
Transport
Moving it to your site
Your record
1 L in your records. The factor is per L.
Burning it
In your engine or boiler: mostly CO₂ the plants took up as they grew, with a little CH₄ and N₂O
= 1.33 per L
Outside this boundary
- Making the boiler that burns it
- Building the pipelines and the network
Syke counts the fuel, not the things built to extract, move and burn it.
From Syke's record to a comparable factor
