Emission factors of UK conversion factors and USA conversion factors are similar for the fossil fuels.
But BIG DIFFERENCES for the biomass fuels!!! The USA conversion factors only take the combustion into account, while the UK conversion factors also take into account that the biomass sequestered carbon while it was growing and is basically carbon neutral (only N2O and CH4 emissions remain). Therefore we will use UK Conversion factors for heating!
Gaseous fuels - Natural gas (with/without a share of biogas?) → git issue #149 Gaseous fuels - LPG Biomass Fuels - Wood Biomass Fuels - Biogas Coal (domestic) Heating oil (kerosene) District heating (table or each district heating network?) → git issue #148
data providers: Favorite so far: UK conversion factors USA conversion factors GHG protocol conversion factors
