Furnace oil emission factor (India): 2.97 kg CO2 per litre
Senseible uses 2.97 kg CO2 per litre of furnace oil (Scope 1). An invoice for 2,000 litres is 2,000 × 2.97 = 5,940 kg CO2, or 5.94 tonnes.

How the factor is derived
IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: residual fuel oil 77,400 kg CO2 per TJ × 40.4 TJ per Gg = 3.13 kg CO2 per kg, × 0.95 kg per litre = 2.97 kg CO2 per litre.
The 0.95 kg per litre density is an assumption; supplier density should replace it when available.
Questions
What is the emission factor for furnace oil in India?
2.97 kg CO2 per litre. IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: residual fuel oil 77,400 kg CO2 per TJ × 40.4 TJ per Gg = 3.13 kg CO2 per kg, × 0.95 kg per litre = 2.97 kg CO2 per litre.
How do I calculate emissions from a furnace oil invoice?
Multiply the litres on the invoice by 2.97. For 2,000 litres: 5,940 kg CO2.
Is furnace oil Scope 1 or Scope 2?
Scope 1, when the fuel is burned in equipment or vehicles the business owns or controls. Fuel burned by a hired transporter is that transporter’s Scope 1 and your Scope 3.
