Where 1.55 comes from

Derived by open-climate.ai

open-climate.ai adds up the gases TurkStat publishes, each weighted by its warming potential.

Reporting this kilogram under the GHG Protocol

The publisher does not state what the value covers, so no scope can be assigned.

What this number covers

TurkStat does not say which steps of the production this figure includes, so there is no chain to draw.

  • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)1.55

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.
