1. WHAT’S NEW

Unified database documentation

The 2025 version of the IEA Emission Factors package database includes an unified database documentation. This
document includes details of the IEA Emission Factors database, the IEA Life Cycle Upstream Emission Factors
database and additional information about monthly and quarterly emission factors estimations.

Total emissions per kWh of activity and national electricity
generation

The 2025 version of the IEA Emission Factors package database includes an estimation of a global factor which
encompasses the total emissions per kWh of electricity generation only for CO2, N2O and CH4, trade adjustment
accounting for the emissions impact of electricity trade between countries (for OECD countries), total upstream
emissions intensity associated with the national electricity generation and relevant adjustments associated with the
transmission and distribution losses of electricity in the grid developed from a life cycle perspective.

CO2 and methane intensities

The IEA estimates are regularly updated using the best available data on fossil fuel operations, country- and
production-specific CO2 and methane emissions intensities, the latest scientific studies, measurement campaigns
and emissions data including large emissions events detected by satellites (e.g., Global Methane Tracker (2025), the
International Maritime Organization, the U.S. EPA, Kayrros). These estimates are influenced by several factors,
including measurement studies, ageing of facilities, shifts in flaring intensities, types of operators and satellitedetected large emissions, as well as evolutions to governance indicators, policies and regulations. The IEA
conducted a comprehensive assessment of the emissions intensities along LNG supply chains in 2025 (Assessing
options from LNG supply and abatement options), which led to changes for emissions from a number of segments
of the supply chain. The revised total intensity factors covering natural gas production, gathering and boosting,
liquefaction, shipping and regasification have been integrated in this edition.
These intensity factors are used as inputs for natural gas fuel-cycle emissions intensities. Therefore, revisions to the

\\mathrm{C O\_{2}}

These intensity factors are used as inputs for natural gas fuel-cycle emissions intensities. Therefore, revisions to the
underlying input data are expected to be reflected into the total fuel-cycle emissions intensities from the life cycle
perspective.

The CO2 and methane emissions intensities have been revised for the time series for the following set of countries:

\\mathrm{C O\_{2}}

The IEA works closely with UNEP’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) and other partners to
ensure our estimates reflect the latest findings from measurement-based, peer-reviewed studies. In addition to the
Global Methane Budget, a number of academic publications released in 2024 used innovative techniques to estimate sectoral emissions for top-emitting regions and countries. These studies demonstrate efforts to compare and
reconcile measurement-based and inventory-based methodologies.

Life cycle upstream emission factors as a standalone
database

The life cycle emission factors which underwent a successful pilot, is available as an independent database, called
the IEA Life Cycle Upstream Emission Factors. The new complementary database is published in an excel format
and includes three main sheets with a set of life cycle emission factors corresponding to electricity generation. Data
is available from year 2015 up to the latest available year for up to 150 countries. For additional information, please
refer to the corresponding documentation.

Geographical coverage

In February 2025, Latvia became the 32nd member of the IEA. Accordingly, it is included in the IEA member
countries aggregate (IEA Total) for data starting in 1990.

In September 2023 the African Union became a full member of G20. Accordingly, starting in the 2024 edition, it is
included in the G20 aggregate for data starting in 1971.

For further details, please refer to the section on Geographical coverage.

Geographical coverage for the provisional year

In the 2025 edition, provisional 2024 data for selected non-OECD countries are added to those for OECD countries.

3. DEFINITIONS

Electricity and Heat Output and Emissions per kWh

| Flow | Definition |
| --- | --- |
| Emissions per kWh of electricity only(gCO2eqperkWh) | This ratio is expressed in grammes of CO2eqperkWh.CharacteristicsThis ratio is based on total emissions from fossil fuels consumed for electricity generation,in both electricity-only and combined heat and power plants(CHP),divided by output of electricity generated from all fossil and non-fossil sources.Both main activity producers and autoproducers have been included in the calculation. |
| Emissions per kWh of electricity and heat(gCO2eqperkWh) | This ratio is based on total GHG emissions from fossil fuels consumed for electricity and heat generation divided by the output of electricity and heat(inkWh)from all fossil and non-fossil sources.It includes electricity-only plants,combined heat and power plants,and heat-only plants.Both main activity producers and autoproducers have been included in the calculation. |
| Trade adjustment(gCO2/kWh) | Part of the electricity consumed in one country may have been generated in another one.Similarly,part of the electricity generated in one country can be exported to other countries.Therefore,adjustments may be done to the emission factors calculated above to account for electricity trade.Such adjustments are based on the share of electricity that is imported or exported compared to the domestic supply.The data needed to calculate such adjustment are only available for OECD countries.This adjustment can be positive or negative. |
| Transmission and distribution losses adjustment(gCO2/kWh) | As electricity is transmitted through a grid from the generation point to the consumption point,losses can occur for different reasons-they usually represent between5and15%of the energy transmitted,mainly depending on the distance of the lines.Basically,for eachkWhbeing consumed,a higher amount had to be generated. |
| Direct combustion factors(kgCO2eq/m3orgCO2eq/m3orkgCO2eq/kgorgCO2eq/kg) | These factors are computed as weighted average of the consumption across all sectors excluding electricity generation.The included sectors comprise of energy industry own use,industry,transport,residential,commercial and public services,agriculture/forestry,fishing and other non-specified final consumption sector. |
| Total upstream emission factors(CO2eq/kWh) | Correspond to the total upstream emissions intensity associated with the national electricity generation.The factors are computed using the overall life cycle footprint of the electricity generation technologies/fuels excluding direct emissions from combustion of the fuels at the generation point weighted by their respective shares in the generation mix. |
| For the most recent year available,this value is estimated based on provisional data. |  |

| Fuel-cycle emission factors(CO2eq/kWh) | Correspond to the fuel-cycle emissions intensity associated with the national electricity generation.The factors are computed using the life cycle emissions intensity corresponding to fossil fuels,uranium and biofuels fuel-cycles weighted by the respective shares of all fuels/technologies in the generation mix.The non-fuel cycle life cycle emissions and the direct emissions from combustion of the fuels at the generation point are excluded. |
| Note that the fuel-cycle emission factors are a sub-component of total upstream emission factors. |  |
| For the most recent year available,this value is estimated based on provisional data. |  |
| Life cycle adjustment factors for transmission and distribution losses(CO2eq/kWh) | Include the emission intensities associated with the transmission and distribution losses of electricity in the grid developed from a life cycle perspective.The factors are developed by multiplying the life cycle emission intensity of the electricity grid by the percentage of the T&D losses occurred. |
| Note that these adjustment factors are not included in the above emission factors and can be added to the above to derive a closer intensity figure at the final consumption point. |  |
| Total greenhouse emissions per kwh of activity or electricity generated(gCO2eq/kWh) | Corresponds to the sum of emissions per kWh of electricity generation only for CO2,N2O and CH4, trade adjustment accounting for the emissions impact of electricity trade between countries (for OECD countries),total upstream emissions intensity associated with the national electricity generation and relevant adjustments associated with the transmission and distribution losses of electricity in the grid developed from a life cycle perspective.This is only included in the Emission Factors data package. |

5. METHODOLOGY: GHG/KWH EMISSION
   FACTORS

Data source

The estimates of GHG emissions in this publication are based on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and the IEA World
Energy Balances data; they represent the total emissions from fuel combustion.

For OECD Member countries, these figures are derived based on information provided in the five annual OECD
questionnaires completed by the national administrations. For the member countries of the Economic Commission for
Europe of the United Nations (UNECE) and a few others, the data shown are mostly based on information provided by
the national administrations through the same annual questionnaires. The commodity balances for all other countries are
based on national energy data of heterogeneous nature, converted and adapted to fit the IEA format and methodology.

Considerable effort has been made to ensure that the data presented adhere to the IEA definitions reported in the
section on Methodological notes in the general documentation27. These definitions, based on the United Nations
International Recommendations on Energy Statistics28, are used by most of the international organisations that
collect energy statistics.

Nevertheless, energy statistics at the national level are often collected using criteria and definitions which differ,
sometimes considerably, from those of international organisations. This is especially true for non-OECD countries,
which are submitting data to the IEA on a voluntary basis. The IEA secretariat has identified most of these
differences and, where possible, adjusted the data to meet international definitions.

The indicator: definition

In the total CO2 emissions per kWh, for electricity or for electricity and heat generation, the numerator presents the
CO2 emissions from fossil fuels consumed for electricity generation, while the denominator presents the total
electricity generated, coming from fossil fuels, but also from nuclear, hydro, geothermal, solar, biofuels, etc. As a
result, the emissions per kWh vary a lot across countries and from year to year, depending on the generation mix.

\\mathbf{c0{}\_{2}}

{mathbf\\mathbf c{}0}\_{2}

The above factors reflect annual average intensities of the national grid and can be used for the estimation of
location-based Scope 2 emissions corresponding to consumption of purchased electricity under the GHG protocol.

In the CO2 emissions per kWh by fuel the numerator and denominator only refer to the electricity generation from
a given fuel:

• Coal includes primary and secondary coal, and coal gases. Peat and oil shale have also been aggregated with
coal, where applicable.
• Oil includes oil products (and crude oil for some countries).

• Non-renewable wastes includes industrial waste and non-renewable municipal waste.

# Electricity-only carbon emission factors: allocation of emissions from CHP plants

Calculating emission factors for electricity-only generation from the IEA energy balances require specific assumptions, as for combined heat and power (CHP) plants only data for a combined input are available. The IEA adopts the fixed-heat-efficiency approach, which consist in fixing the efficiency of heat generation to compute the input to heat, and calculating the input to electricity as a residual from the total input. The standard heat efficiency was set to that of a typical heat boiler, 90%.

The proportionality approach would conversely allocate inputs based on the proportion of electricity and heat in the output. This is equivalent to fixing the efficiency of electricity and heat to be equal. With the advantage of simplicity and transparency, the proportionality approach however tends to overstate electricity efficiency and to understate heat efficiency. For example, for CHP generation in OECD countries, total efficiency is around 60%. However, total electricity-only plant efficiency is around 41% in OECD countries. Similarly, 60% is quite low for heat generation (given typical heat-only plant efficiencies of 80-95%).

In general, the fixed-heat-efficiency approach attributes larger emissions to electricity than the proportionality approach, with values much closer to those of electricity-only plants. While the fixed-heat-efficiency approach has proven to provide sensible results in most cases, implementation problems arise in two cases:

i) When the observed efficiency is over 100% (i.e. there are problems in data quality). ii) When the observed efficiency is between 90% and 100% (the total efficiency may be correct or it may be overstated).
In both cases, it is not possible to use the fixed-heat-efficiency approach and, by default, the proportionality approach is used to allocate the inputs based on the output shares.

Provisional carbon emission factors

While the methodology previously described refers to time series up to the year Y-1, the factors for the latest year
(Y) provided for OECD countries and selected non-OECD countries are based on a simplified methodology. The
available data for the year Y only include the breakdown of electricity generated by fuel, but not the fuel input to
plant. The assumption used is that there was no change in the efficiency of plants and in the energy content of the
input products compared to the year Y-1.

With these assumptions, the factor was derived as follows:
kWh

C O\_{2}K W h\\left(Y\\right)=\\frac{\ sum{{\ C\_{f u e l s}}}\\left(C O\_{2}K W h\_{f u e l}(Y-1)\\times E l e\_{I n l a n d\_{f u e l}}\\left(Y\\right)\\right)}{E l e\_{I n l a n d}\\left(Y\\right)}

Please note that data for the provisional year may be subject to revisions more often as better information become
available in further editions of the product.

For the provisional year, only the total carbon emission factor is included.

If CO2 represent a large majority in term of greenhouse gas emissions from fuel combustion, it is not the only one.

Emission factors for CH4 and N2O were calculated using the same methodology as for the CO2 per kWh, using the
Tier 1 methodology and the default emission factors of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, including also emissions from
biofuels in this case (as opposed to CO2 only emissions). The emission factors are converted from gCH4 and gN2O
to gCO2eq using the 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP) given below. To ensure alignment with the latest

Comparison between electricity-only and combined
electricity and heat ratios

For the majority of OECD countries, the electricity-only indicator is not significantly different from the combined
electricity and heat indicator, shown in previous editions of this publication and in the online database. For the
OECD total in 2024, the electricity-only indicator is 2% higher, while 25 of the OECD’s 38 countries saw a
difference of 10% or less. Of the 19 countries with differences of more than 5% most have large amounts of nonemitting electricity generation, giving them a small ratio to begin with (thus more prone to change). In addition,
non-emitting generation is generally electricity-only, and so when the heat-only and heat CHP emissions are
removed from the calculation, greater weight is attached to the non-emitting generation, with a lower level for the
final indicator.

5%

The countries in the OECD with larger differences are generally coal-intensive countries with large amounts of heat
generation. As mentioned, in general, heat plants are more efficient than electricity-only or CHP plants; therefore,
excluding heat plants from the calculation increases CO2 intensity. The same is true if we allocate a high efficiency
to the heat part of CHP generation; this decreases the efficiency of the electricity part and thus increases electricity’s
carbon intensity. Further, CHP and heat plants are more likely to be powered by CO2-light natural gas while
electricity-only plants tend to be powered by CO2-heavy coal, making the new ratio more CO2 intensive for these
countries.

# 6\. METHODOLOGY: OTHER FACTORS

## Correction factor for electricity trade

Part of the electricity consumed in one country may have been generated in another one. Similarly, part of the electricity generated in one country can be exported to other countries. Therefore, adjustments may be done to the emission factors calculated above to account for electricity trade. Such adjustments are based on the share of electricity that is imported or exported compared to the domestic supply. The data needed to calculate such adjustment (i.e. the breakdown of electricity import by trade partner) are only available for OECD countries. This adjustment can be positive or negative, and is calculated as follows:

𝐶𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑠\+ 𝐶𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑑− 𝐶𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑑 CO2kWh𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒= − 𝐶𝑂2kWh 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 With 𝐶𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑠= 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐼𝑛𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑑∗ 𝐶𝑂2kWh

And

𝐶𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑑= ∑ 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠∗ 𝐶𝑂2kWh𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑟

And 𝐶𝐼𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑠+ 𝐶𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑑= 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠∗ 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐼𝑛𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑑+ 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠 Where

- CO2kWh𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒: Adjustment of the carbon factor (in CO2/kWh) for emissions induced by the trade of electricity with partner countries.
- CO2kWh𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑟: Carbon emission factor for electricity generation of the partner country.
- 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 : 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐼𝑛𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑑\+ 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠− 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠
  Note that for a given country, trade data are those reported by the country for which the factor is calculated, which in some cases can differ from those reported from trade partners. Also, since the emission factors from trading partners are used, the quality of this adjustment depends not only on the quality of the data reported by the country, but also on the quality of the data reported by the trading partners. Moreover, in some cases, country report imports from non-specified countries. In such cases, assumptions were made based on transmission grid and data reported by potential partners.

This adjustment does not take into account geographically localized connections between countries. For example, Luxembourg reports trade from Germany, which is mostly related to electricity from the Vianden hydro plant; however the trade adjustment would be calculated using the nationally averaged carbon emission factor for Germany. As this case was known, the figure was set as “not available”. But other similar issue may occur.

## Correction factor for electricity T&D losses

As electricity is transmitted through a grid from the generation point to the consumption point, losses can occur for different reasons-they usually represent between 5 and 15% of the energy transmitted, mainly depending on the distance of the lines. Basically, for each kWh being consumed, a higher amount had to be generated.

The adjustment due to losses was calculated as follows:

CO2kWh𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠= 𝐶𝑂2kWh × 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 Where

Note that data quality for electricity transmission and distribution losses may be very variable across countries.

Use of the adjustment indicators

In order to allow more flexibility for the users depending on their reporting needs, the CO2 emission factors are
presented in a disaggregated manner. Since the CO2 emission per kWh represents the emissions at the generation
point, this factor can be completed by adding the transmission and distribution losses factor, and the correction for
electricity trade. By adding these figures one can obtain a closer figure to the CO2 per kWh at the final user point.
These factors can be applied for location-based Scope 2 emissions reporting under the GHG protocol. The factors
can also be completed with the CH4 and N2O figures to obtain more complete greenhouse gas per kWh indicators.
As stipulated above, these figures are to be taken with caution due to the uncertainty associated with the
corresponding IPCC emission factors. The CH4 and N2O adjustment for trade and losses are not provided here due
to the negligible impact compared to the uncertainty associated with the figure.

Please note that for reporting Scope 3 emissions associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, the life
cycle upstream and T&D emission factors are recommended. These factors are available in the IEA Emission
Factors package and as an independent database, called the IEA Life Cycle Upstream Emission Factors.

Direct combustion factors for individual fuels

In most cases fuels are combusted directly for other purposes than electricity generation, within all sectors of final
consumption. The Direct combustion factors vary according to the fuel used, and are computed as weighted average
of the consumption across all final consumption sectors for a given country. These factors can be applied for
reporting Scope 1 emissions associated with direct combustion of fuels under the GHG protocol and are computed
as follows:

7. METHODOLOGY: MONTHLY AND
   QUARTERLY FACTORS

This section details the methodology corresponding to the development of monthly and quarterly grid emission factors
based on monthly electricity data.

Within the package, the quarterly update of monthly and quarterly emission factors complements the data published in
the current editions of the IEA Emission Factors database. The data is included for:

 countries: 52 countries (see section Geographical coverage and country notes);

 years: 2015 to quarter prior to latest publication (e.g. 2025Q3 publication will cover data up to
2025Q2).

The IEA Monthly Electricity Statistics exhibits monthly data on electricity generation for over 50 countries. The IEA
Electricity Information includes granular product-specific yearly data corresponding to both gross and net electricity
output. By merging data from these two databases, it is possible to estimate gross monthly generation data per product
scaled to match the yearly statistics.

On the other hand, the IEA World Energy Balances contains yearly energy balances for over 150 countries. The
database includes granular fuel/technology specific input and output data to electricity generation plants. This enables
estimating fuel-specific electricity generation CO2 intensities at country-level. Merging the derived intensities with the
monthly scaled generation data enables developing estimates of the CO2 intensities associated with the electricity grids
with monthly and quarterly resolutions.

\\mathrm{C O\_{2}}

\\mathrm{C O\_{2}}

Once annual fuel-specific CO2 intensities corresponding to electricity generation have been calculated as described in
chapter 5, the methodology to derive monthly and quarterly factors includes two further steps as detailed below.

\\mathrm{C O\_{2}}

Scaling the monthly electricity generation data based on
annual statistics

This step involves scaling the monthly electricity generation data per product to match the yearly electricity statistics.

N e t E l e\_{,j j,w}=\\frac{N e t E l e\_{i,y,w}}{G r o s s E l e\_{i,y,w}};x\\;r G o s s E l e\_{j,y,w},

Firstly, the yearly gross and net generation data for aggregated products are used to derive product-specific net to gross
ratios. These ratios are applied to the granular gross yearly generation data to develop the product-specific annual net
generation figures as per the following formula:

_**Note: The product-specific annual net electricity generation data are available at an aggregated fuel level. Hence, the**_

_above computed gross to net ratios do not always match the granularity of gross generation included in the yearly_ _statistics. Thus, it is assumed that the ratio is consistent among the sub-products of each aggregated fuel category._ Following the above, the fuel-specific net monthly data are aggregated (accounting for fiscal year if applicable) to derive the raw annualized net generation data for the year y, as per the following: 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑦,𝑤= ∑ 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑚,𝑤 𝑚 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑦,𝑤: annualized net electricity generation for fuel j and country w in year y based on monthly _data_ 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑚,𝑤: net monthly electricity generation for fuel j and country w in month m The product-specific scaling factors are computed by deriving the ratio between the above calculated annualized net electricity generation and the annual net electricity output as per the following formula: 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑦,𝑤 𝑆𝐹𝑗,𝑦,𝑤= 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑦,𝑤 𝑆𝐹𝑗,𝑦,𝑤: monthly to annual scaling factor for fuel j and country w in year y 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑦,𝑤: net electricity generation for fuel j and country w in year y 𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑦,𝑤: annualized net electricity generation for fuel j and country w in year y based on monthly _data_ Finally, the scaling factors are multiplied by the monthly generation data to compute the scaled net monthly generation data as per the following formula: 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑆𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑗,𝑚,𝑤= 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑚,𝑤𝑥 𝑆𝐹𝑗,𝑦,𝑤 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑆𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑗,𝑚,𝑤: scaled net monthly electricity generation for fuel j and country w in month m 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑗,𝑚,𝑤: net monthly electricity generation for fuel j and country w in month m

Note: The yearly electricity data are available with a time lag of two years. This means that in the present year Y, the
global coverage of the IEA Electricity Information database is up to year Y-2. Hence, the scaling factors corresponding
to the most recent years (Y and Y-1) are assumed to be equal to the latest available year (Y-2).

Note: In some cases, monthly electricity generation data may be incomplete or significantly differ from the annual
statistics. In such cases, scaling is not viable and monthly data is estimated based on available yearly data.

Developing monthly and quarterly grid emission factors

To develop monthly and quarterly grid emission factors, the scaled net monthly generation data derived in Step 2 are
converted to monthly gross generation figures. Therefore, product-specific gross to net ratios are developed and
multiplied by the scaled net monthly data as per the following formula:

G r o s s E l e\_{i,m,w}=\\sum\_{j}(\\frac{G r o s s E l e\_{j,y,w}}{N e t E l e\_{j,y,w}};x;N e t E l e S c a l e d\_{j,m,w})

𝑁𝑒𝑡𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑆𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑗,𝑚,𝑤: scaled net monthly electricity generation for fuel j and country w in month m

Note: The IEA monthly electricity statistics does not include gross generation. Therefore, the gross to net ratio applied
in the above formula is derived based on annual data, assuming that the ratio is constant throughout the year.

Following the above, monthly grid emission factors are computed as follows:

Note: As the yearly electricity data are available with a time lag of two years, for the present year Y, the global
coverage of the IEA World Energy Balances database is up to year Y-2. Hence, the yearly fuel-specific emissions
intensities corresponding to the most recent years (Y and Y-1) are assumed to be equal to those of the latest available
year (Y-2). This approach assumes that there are no changes in the efficiency of the generation plants, the quality
(calorific value) of the fuel inputs to plants and the fuel shares in the respective aggregated product categories
comparing to year Y-2.

Following the development of monthly emission factors, the quarterly emission factors are derived as per the following

# 8\. METHODOLOGY: ELECTRICITY GRID EMISSION FACTORS

The following two sections details the methodology corresponding to development of the total upstream and fuel- cycle emission factors corresponding to national grids as well as the life cycle adjustment factors for T&D losses and a proxy for a total emission factor.

## Total upstream and fuel-cycle grid emission factors

The overall methodology for developing country-specific fuel-cycle and upstream emission factors corresponding to electricity grids, includes the following listed steps:

1. Developing country-specific fuel-cycle and upstream emission factors for all the fuels and technologies used for electricity generation globally.
   _Note: As it will be detailed in the following sections, depending on the fuel/technology and the source of the_ _compiled data, the factors correspond to either the generation output (mass of CO2eq/kWh electricity_ _generation) or the unit of energy inputs to the generation plant (mass of CO2eq/kWh fuel input to the generation_ _plant)._
2. Computing the fuel-cycle emission factors corresponding to electricity grid by multiplying the fuel specific factors developed in Step 1 with the corresponding activity data for each fuel and dividing by the total electricity generation as expressed by the equation below:
   ∑𝑖(𝐸𝐹𝑖,𝑡 × 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑖,𝑡) 𝐸𝐹𝐹𝑢𝑒𝑙−𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑑 𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟= 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑡

_EFi,t: fuel-cycle emission factor per kWh output or unit of energy input to the plant for each fuel i in year t expressed_ _in gCO2eq/kWh_

_activity i,t: electricity output or fuel input to the plant for fuel i in year t_

_Total electricity output: total electricity generation from all fuels and technologies (kWh) in year t_

Note that the fuel-cycle emission factors are a sub-component of total upstream emission factors which are detailed below.

3. Computing the total upstream emission factors corresponding to electricity grid by multiplying the fuel/technology-specific factors derived in Step 1 with the corresponding activity data for each fuel/technology and dividing by the total electricity generation as expressed by the equation below:
   ∑𝑖(𝐸𝐹𝑖,𝑡 × 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑖,𝑡) 𝐸𝐹𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑢𝑝𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑑 𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟= 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑡

_EF i,t: upstream emission factor per kWh output or unit of energy input to the plant for each fuel/technology i in_ _year t expressed in gCO2eq/kWh_

_activity i,t: electricity output or fuel input to the plant for fuel or technology i in year t_

_Total electricity output t: total electricity generation from all fuels and technologies (kWh) in year t_

The factors published for the provisional year (year 2024 in this edition) are based on a simplified methodology. The available data for the latest year only include the breakdown of electricity generated by fuel, but not the fuel input to the plants. Hence, it is not possible to use the emission factors per unit of energy input to the plants which were applied in the above equations for a subset of the fuels. Considering this limitation, the assumption is that there has been no change in the efficiency of these plants and in the energy content of the input products compared to the

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY previous year. Following these assumptions, both the fuel-cycle and total upstream factors are derived as expressed
by the following equation:

\\begin{array}{r}{E F\_{Y}=\\frac{\\sum\_{i},(E F\_{i,y-1},\\times e l e c t r i c i t y,o u p p t, _{{i,y}})}{T o t a l,e l e c t r i c i t y,o u t p u t,y_}}\\end{array}

Total electricity output t: total electricity generation from all fuels and technologies (kWh) in provisional year Y

The relative weights of the intensities corresponding to each fuel/technology in determining the overall life cycle

The relative weights of the intensities corresponding to each fuel/technology in determining the overall life cycle

The relative weights of the intensities corresponding to each fuel/technology in determining the overall life cycle
grid emission factor is dissimilar. The statistical significance of each fuel/technology on determining the overall
grid intensity, depends on the respective share in the electricity generation mix as well as the magnitude of each
fuel/technology-specific emission factors. On a global level, coal and, to a lesser extent, natural gas correspond to

fuel/technology-specific emission factors. On a global level, coal and, to a lesser extent, natural gas correspond to
high upstream intensities and at the same time are major contributors to the global electricity mix, hence their
relative weight in determining the overall global life cycle grid intensity is significant. On the other hand, the relative
importance of technologies such as wave/tidal and fuels like biogas are minor.

high upstream intensities and at the same time are major contributors to the global electricity mix, hence their

The simplified schematic below provides an overview of the various components required for developing these
emission factors and the corresponding source(s) used for each constituent. The source for the energy data used for
the above is the IEA World Energy Balances database. The fuel/technology-specific emission intensities have been
derived based on data from multiple sources as shown in the figure and detailed in the following sections. Each of
the following fuel/technology specific sections is comprised of two sub-sections including fuel-cycle and total

Life cycle adjustment factor for T&D losses

As electricity is transmitted through a grid from the generation plant to the final consumption point, losses can occur
along the way for different reasons. The occurred T&D losses typically represent between 5 and 15% of the energy
transmitted, mainly depending on the distance and quality of the lines. This means that for each unit of electricity
consumed, a higher amount had to be generated.

In order to account for the emission intensity induced due to the T&D losses from a life cycle perspective, the
overall life cycle emission intensity of the electricity grid is multiplied by the percentage of the T&D losses occurred
as detailed by the following equation. The factors include all greenhouse gases including CO2, CH4 and N2O.

Note that these adjustment factors are not included in the above detailed total upstream and fuel-cycle emission
factors and can be added to the above to derive a closer intensity figure at the final consumption point.

The 2006 GLs and the UNFCCC Reporting Guidelines
on Annual Inventories both ask that CO2 emissions and
removals be reported in Gg (gigagrammes) of CO2. A
million tonnes of CO2 is equal to 1 000 Gg of CO2, so
to compare the numbers in this publication with
national inventories expressed in Gg, multiply the IEA
emissions by 1 000.

Other organisations may present CO2 emissions in
tonnes of carbon instead of tonnes of CO2. To convert
from tonnes of carbon, multiply by 44/12, which is the
molecular weight ratio of CO2 to C.
