Kerosene emission factor (India): 2.52 kg CO2 per litre
Senseible uses 2.52 kg CO2 per litre of kerosene (Scope 1). An invoice for 200 litres is 200 × 2.52 = 504 kg CO2, or 0.504 tonnes.
| Factor | Scope | HSN heading | On invoices as |

| 2.52 kg CO2 per litre | Scope 1 | 2710 (Petroleum oils) | SKO, superior kerosene oil, kerosene |
How the factor is derived
IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: other kerosene 71,900 kg CO2 per TJ × 43.8 TJ per Gg = 3.15 kg CO2 per kg, × 0.80 kg per litre = 2.52 kg CO2 per litre.
The 0.80 kg per litre density is an assumption; supplier density should replace it when available.
Questions
