About the International Electricity Factors
The international country-level grid electricity factors are now located on CaDI — The Carbon Database Initiative — the free-to-use, free-to-disclose carbon intelligence platform. These are needed for organisations reporting their carbon emissions. The factors are calculated based on fuel mix, with government emissions factor releases collated from numerous sources by Carbon Footprint Ltd.
Emissions per kWh vary by country based on the electricity generation mix. Countries with more fossil fuels have higher intensity than those with more renewables or nuclear.
The emissions factors published by Carbon Footprint Ltd are open source and are built into our online carbon calculators.
If a country factor is missing and you have a credible source, please contact us so we can add it to future releases.
Note: The Production Mix factors here are for Location-Based reporting. For Market-Based reporting, use your electricity provider’s factors or the Residual Mix if unavailable.
