Emissions factors convert activity data (fuel burned, electricity used) to greenhouse gas emissions. They vary by fuel type, region, year.
सूत्र
Emissions = Activity × Emissions Factor
चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका
- 1Emissions = Activity × Emissions Factor
- 2Gasoline: ~2.3 kg CO₂/liter, electricity: 0.2-0.8 kg CO₂/kWh (regional)
- 3Factor varies with grid composition (coal heavy = higher)
हल किए गए उदाहरण
इनपुट
Drive 1000 km, car uses 5 L/100km, total 50 L fuel
परिणाम
50 L × 2.3 kg CO₂/L = 115 kg CO₂ emissions
Typical car trip
सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है
- ✕Using national average when regional factor available
- ✕Forgetting to account for upstream emissions
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Why do electricity emissions vary by region?
Coal-heavy grids (high factor), nuclear/wind grids (low factor). US average ~0.4, coal region ~0.8 kg CO₂/kWh.
Are lifecycle emissions included?
Basic factors only include combustion. Full lifecycle includes extraction, production, transport.
