Naphtha emission factor (India): 3.26 kg CO2 per kg
Senseible uses 3.26 kg CO2 per kg of naphtha (Scope 1). An invoice for 1,000 kg is 1,000 × 3.26 = 3,260 kg CO2, or 3.26 tonnes.
| Factor | Scope | HSN heading | On invoices as |
|---|
| 3.26 kg CO2 per kg | Scope 1 | 2710 (Petroleum oils) | naphtha (sold by weight) |
How the factor is derived
IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: 73,300 kg CO2 per TJ × 44.5 TJ per Gg = 3.26 kg CO2 per kg.
IPCC gives naphtha per kg only, so no density is assumed: naphtha billed in litres gets no factor and is flagged for review.
Questions
What is the emission factor for naphtha in India?
3.26 kg CO2 per kg. IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: 73,300 kg CO2 per TJ × 44.5 TJ per Gg = 3.26 kg CO2 per kg.
How do I calculate emissions from a naphtha invoice?
Multiply the kg on the invoice by 3.26. For 1,000 kg: 3,260 kg CO2.
Is naphtha 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.
