Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of grid mix - upstream emissions only. Includes upstream emissions such as fuel production (well-to-tank) and transmission and distribution losses. Calculated by subtracting the emission factor for electricity generation from the emission factor that includes both electricity generation and upstream emissions. Retrieved from the excel file provided in the source URL and the sheets "Table6_Other_LC_GHG" and "Table5_Other_IPCC_GHG".
