District heat produced by renewables (such as wood or biogas)

Emissions from district heating are generated when water is heated. District heating water can be heated by waste heat from power plants or by geothermal energy. The emission factor of district heating depends on the production process and the electricity used in the production.

Emission Factors
Data related to constituent gases (CO2, CH4, etc.) can be incomplete. Either the information is unavailable from emission factor source or data is being added in the next updates.

On the OpenCO2.net platform, you can use our standard-based carbon footprint calculators and use this emission factor as input for emission calculations. As a paying customer, you get access to an extensive emissions database with more comprehensive features.

In addition to the information presented here, you can find more information about the type of emission (Fossil / Biogenic / Stored carbon /Carbon neutral), the life cycle stages included in the emission factor (Cradle-to-Grave / Cradle-to-Gate / Production phase / Use phase) and reliability of the emission factor (e.g. whether the emission factor has been verified by an independent third party) and other relevant information needed for the emission calculation. You can also perform unit conversions, add your own emission factors to the system and make your own list of your most used emission factors.
