What grid emission factor should a supplier in Serbia use?
Serbia's power comes mostly from lignite, with hydro making up most of the rest, so its grid factor is high, roughly 0.7 kg CO2 per kWh or a little above. Use the official or IEA figure for the reporting year and name it.
Which figure
- Location based: national average for the year.
- Market based: guarantees of origin for hydro or wind, if you buy them.
- State both and the year.
Why it matters
EU customers compare suppliers. A lignite grid can double a factory's footprint against a supplier on a cleaner grid.
Lowering it
Rooftop solar and renewable contracts cut market based Scope 2. Keep meter data and certificates.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads electricity bills into dated, fingerprinted records and keeps location based and market based figures side by side, each with the factor and year used.
