What the 14 factor pages say

One chart per unit, since a kilogram and a kWh do not compare. Colour is the boundary, what the factor counts; every row also names it.

Per JPY · 5 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.002
From 0.00247 (Relay and industrial control manufacturing, Open CEDA) to 0.00709 (Communication and energy wire and cable manufacturing, Open CEDA) kgCO₂e per JPY.

Per unit · 4 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 10 times the last
From 14.5 (TEC2 T-TE 2500-9 BK, ÖKOBAUDAT) to 8,910 (3kWp slanted-roof installation, a-Si, laminated, integrated, on roof, ICM) kgCO₂e per unit. 3 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.
