About IEA
The International Energy Agency (IEA) provides comprehensive electricity emission factors, which are essential for understanding the carbon footprint of electricity generation across different regions and energy sources. These factors assist governments, businesses, and researchers in measuring the environmental impact of electricity consumption and in developing strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector.

| Quality flag(s) | Partial factor The source reports emission factors for 2024 in CO2 only and does not include the impact of other GHGs. For a few countries, the same applies to other years as well (only a CO2 value is provided). In addition, transmission and distribution losses are also reported in CO2 only. |

EMA
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry in Singapore. They issue average CO2 emission emitted per unit of electricity. Contains information from the Grid Emission Factor dataset accessed on 12/12/2025 from EMA which is made available under the terms of the Singapore Open Data Licence version 1.0 https://www.ema.gov.sg/terms-of-use.
