What the 31 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 kg · 16 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 10 times the last
From 0.0227 (Black coal, WA, at mine, ICM) to 3.43 (Petroleumcokes, CO2emissiefactoren.be) kgCO₂e per kg. 4 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 0.35
From 0.356 (Anthracite, ADEME) to 0.441 (Braunkohlenbriketts - Endenergieverbrauch Wärme & Kälte, UBA (DE)) kgCO₂e per kWh. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.
