GHG Emission Factors for Electricity Consumption

In the context of EU and Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, the JRC provides the last updated emission factors for calculating GHG emissions, attributed to the electricity consumption. The JRC-COM-NEEFE dataset includes National and European Emission Factors for Electricity Consumption (NEEFE). The countries here reported are: EU-28 countries, Eastern and South Med Neighbourhood countries and the rest of the world. The National and European Emission Factors for Electricity related to the indirect emissions from electricity consumption are calculated by dividing total national CO2 emissions from electricity production from all input energy carriers by the total final electricity consumption. The NEEFE have been calculated by applying two different approaches to the energy carriers consumed to produce electricity: the IPCC “standard” and the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) emission factors.
