Emission factor summary

Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of biodiesel. The GHG emissions standard applied is the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Boundaries: Only includes emissions from the combustion of the fuel. Excludes emissions upstream of the combustion of the fuel. Retrieved from Singapore Emission Factors Registry (SEFR) database. The primary data source is National Environment Agency (NEA) Singapore. According to the source: This datapoint references default CO2 CH4 and N2O emission factors in net calorific values from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (unless stated otherwise) and the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). This datapoint is also referenced in NEA's Carbon Tax Calculator for companies under the Carbon Pricing Act (CPA). For CPA companies who wish to do the Carbon Tax calculation please refer to NEA website directly. (https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/climate-change-energy-efficiency/climate-change/carbon-tax).
