What the 43 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 kWh · 39 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 100 times the last
From 0.00000622 (Grid electricity, AIB) to 1.05 (Electricity, high voltage, New South Wales, ICM) kgCO₂e per kWh. 7 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per JPY · 3 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.02
From 0.034 (Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, Open CEDA) to 0.113 (Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, Open CEDA) kgCO₂e per JPY.

Per CAD

OpenIO-Canada puts Electricity at 3.28 kgCO₂e/CAD (Cradle to gate, 2022), the only factor page in this unit.
