When to use
Use this factor for Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion, where your organization directly burns fuel at facilities you own or control. This includes boilers, furnaces, generators, and other fixed equipment at your premises.
Methodology
Derived from direct physical activity measurements (litres, kilometres, kilograms). The most accurate approach where activity data exists.
