3 months ago It's possible I had a different source at the time that seemed more recent than this one - but I'm surprised I didn't leave a comment about it like I did for "UNK".
In any case, these were meant to be modifiable placeholders. If you have better information to use - you should definitely use it!
Leaving this open as a reminder to myself to track this down.

We are looking at the source for default emission factors and comparing with the IPCC report which shows the following :
Our assumption is that the 50th percentile values are the reference here but some values do seem to be slightly different. Also bio power has a very different emission factor. Is there a reason specific to this type of fuel ?
Thanks !
