Background of emission factor

Finland’s average passenger car emission factor represents the entire national car fleet and indicates the average CO2 emissions per kilometer for a typical Finnish car. It includes all fuel types, such as gasoline, diesel, electricity, and hybrids. This average is useful when there’s no specific information about the car being analyzed. The OpenCO2 Emissions Database also provides regional emission factors for different parts of Finland, which can improve accuracy of emission calculations if the car’s main driving area is known.

Emission factor category

The emission factor for a passenger car indicates the use-phase emissions of the car in g/km. The emission factor for an electric car is zero because the electric car does not produce any direct emissions when driving the car. Emissions from the manufacturing of the car are included in the manufacturer’s cradle to grave emissions.

Quality of emission factor

High-quality emission factors verified by an external verifier, usually sourced directly from the supplier (primary data). The factor may be a maximum of 3-5 years old and cover all greenhouse gases (CO2e).

Unverified primary data factors, as well as new and accurate average factors based on physical quantities. The factor may be a maximum of 3-5 years old.

Average, based on physical quantities, with one of the following shortcomings: more than 5 years old, only CO2 emissions, or contains many assumptions.

Inaccurate emission factors based on physical quantities that contain several of the following shortcomings: more than 5 years old, only CO2, or contains many assumptions. The newest, highest-quality spend-based emission coefficients also fall into this category.

Old and inaccurate spend-based emission factors. Their use in emission calculations should be avoided.

The OpenCO2 emissions database is one of the most comprehensive emissions databases in Europe. Our experts select and validate all emission factors added to the OpenCO2 database and keep them up to date.
