2.1kgCO2e/MMBTU

Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 and N2O only. This EF can be used to report 'in-scope' emissions in scope 1 as it excludes emissions of biogenic CO2. Use LCA activity 'biogenic_co2_combustion' for the biogenic CO2 emissions reported outside of scopes. Calculated on a gross calorific value (gross CV - higher heating value) basis. The primary source is EPA Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories - Table 1 Stationary Combustion Emission Factors - March 9 2018. NOTE: This dataset has been deprecated by the source and will be removed soon.
