What the 30 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 L · 10 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 10 times the last
From 0.000908 (Italy electricity-sector fuel combustion emission factor - blast furnace gas, per standard cubic metre of gas, ISPRA) to 1.75 (Gaseous fuels - Butane, DESNZ) kgCO₂e per L. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per kWh · 8 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.2
From 0.202 (Usage - gas heat pump air (20 kW, 7 °C, acc. GEG), ÖKOBAUDAT) to 0.965 (Blast furnace gas, ADEME) kgCO₂e per kWh. 2 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 0.005
From 0.0059 (Natural gas distribution, Open CEDA) to 0.0244 (Natural gas distribution, Open CEDA) kgCO₂e per JPY.

Per kg · 3 factor pages

Linear scale, from 2.75
From 2.79 (CNG - Autobuses (M2, M3), MITECO) to 2.97 (Stationary Combustion of Fuels - Commercial Use - LPG, MfE) kgCO₂e per kg. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per kWh HHV · 3 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.18
From 0.182 (Gas natural, MITECO) to 0.225 (Erdgas (fossil) (Brennwert) - Raumwärme, UBA (AT)) kgCO₂e per kWh HHV. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per EUR · 2 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.62
From 0.624 (Gas Works Gas, EXIOBASE) to 0.687 (Blast Furnace Gas, EXIOBASE) kgCO₂e per EUR.

Per CAD

OpenIO-Canada puts Natural gas at 0.124 kgCO₂e/CAD (Cradle to gate, 2022), the only factor page in this unit.
