open-climate.aiFactors

Heat generation emission factors

Heat produced on site or by a dedicated installation rather than bought from a network: solar thermal, heat pumps, shallow and deep geothermal, ambient heat. From 4 libraries, filed in one model so one publisher's factor compares with another's.

What the 3 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.

Linear scale, from 0
From 0.0321 (Tiefengeothermie - Endenergieverbrauch Wärme & Kälte, UBA (DE)) to 0.468 (Energy reduction, ventilation system, 6 x 120 m3/h, steel ducts, with GHE, ICM) kgCO₂e per kWh. 3 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.
