CO2emissiefactoren.nl 2026 · grid mix 0.200 kg CO2e/kWh incl. 4.06% losses; Scope 2 0.1922 excl. losses
Grid electricity
Our carbon reports multiply a company's purchased kWh by this factor for location-based Scope 2.
Network losses are reported separately, in Scope 3 Category 3: CO2emissiefactoren.nl 2026 · losses 4.06%.
Fuels
Fuel burned in vehicles and equipment the company owns or controls is Scope 1. When a ledger gives fuel spend and we hold a published local price for that fuel and month, the engine turns the spend into litres or kWh at that price and applies the factor below (see supported countries). Fuel spend without a local price is priced at a US reference price, and fuel quantities entered directly in litres or kWh use the EPA Hub factors.

|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 2.139 kg CO2e per litre | CO2emissiefactoren.nl 2026 kg CO2e/L |
| Diesel | 2.462 kg CO2e per litre | CO2emissiefactoren.nl 2026 kg CO2e/L |
| Heating oil | 2.646 kg CO2e per litre | CO2emissiefactoren.nl 2026 kg CO2e/L |
| Natural gas | 0.1821 kg CO2e per kWh | CO2emissiefactoren.nl 2026 kg CO2e/kWh |
