# What grid emission factor should a supplier in Tunisia use?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/tunisia-grid-emission-factor-for-suppliers

Tunisia makes almost all its power from natural gas, so its grid factor sits around 0.45 to 0.5 kg CO2 per kWh. Use the official or IEA figure for the reporting year and name it. Auto and textile buyers in Europe will check the year you used.

## Which figure

- Location based: national average for the year.
- Market based: rooftop solar or a renewable contract, with records.
- State both and the year.

## Records

Monthly bills with kWh per meter, and generation data for any solar.

## For CBAM

Indirect emissions count for cement and fertilisers, so this factor goes straight into those figures.

## 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.
