Waste-derived fuels emission factors

Fuels derived from waste (RDF, SRF, used oils) as fuel commodities. From 10 libraries, filed in one model so one publisher's factor compares with another's.

What the 13 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.

CombustionWell-to-use

Per kg · 4 factor pages

Linear scale, from 0.5
From 0.945 (Italy electricity-sector fuel combustion emission factor - solid recovered fuel, fossil fraction, per unit mass of fuel, ISPRA) to 2.76 (廃プラスチック類（一般廃棄物）, Japan MOE) kgCO₂e per kg.

Per kWh · 4 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 10 times the last
From 0.00133 (biogener Anteil des Abfalls - Endenergieverbrauch Wärme & Kälte, UBA (DE)) to 0.386 (Waste, RVO) kgCO₂e per kWh. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per L · 3 factor pages

Linear scale, from 2.6
From 2.62 (廃プラスチック類から製造される燃料炭化水素油, Japan MOE) to 2.75 (Liquid fuels - Waste oils, DESNZ) kgCO₂e per L.

Per kWh HHV · 2 factor pages

Log scale: each gridline is 10 times the last
From 0.00657 (Biomass, municipal and industrial materials, if combusted to produce heat or electricity, NGA) to 0.301 (Other Fuels - Solid - Tires, EPA Hub) kgCO₂e per kWh HHV.

Who publishes these factors

10 libraries publish them. Each name opens the library's page.

IPCC (44) and Statistics Finland (13) hold 59% of them; the other 8 publish the rest (39).
