Italy grid emission factor: kg CO₂e per kWh by year
Italy: 0.285 kg CO₂e per kWh (285 g/kWh) for grid electricity in 2025, from AIB (location-based, production mix, well to use, upstream fuel included).
Libraries differ in two ways. The basis: a location-based figure is the average of the grid, a market-based residual mix is what a buyer without certificates reports. The boundary: generation counts the plant's own emissions only, well to use adds the fuel supply chain, and network losses are included only where the library says so.
