Canonical: https://senseible.earth/emission-factors/lpg

Senseible uses 2.98 kg CO2 per kg of LPG (Scope 1). An invoice for 190 kg is 190 × 2.98 = 566.2 kg CO2, or 0.566 tonnes.

| Factor | Scope | HSN heading | On invoices as |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2.98 kg CO2 per kg | Scope 1 | 2711 (Petroleum gases) | LPG, commercial cylinder (19 kg), domestic cylinder (14.2 kg) |

## How the factor is derived

IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: 63,100 kg CO2 per TJ × 47.3 TJ per Gg = 2.98 kg CO2 per kg. CO2 from combustion; CH4 and N2O add well under 1% at IPCC defaults.

## Questions

### What is the emission factor for LPG in India?

2.98 kg CO2 per kg. IPCC 2006 Guidelines, Vol. 2, Tables 1.2 and 1.4: 63,100 kg CO2 per TJ × 47.3 TJ per Gg = 2.98 kg CO2 per kg. CO2 from combustion; CH4 and N2O add well under 1% at IPCC defaults.

### How do I calculate emissions from a LPG invoice?

Multiply the kg on the invoice by 2.98. For 190 kg: 566.2 kg CO2.

### Is LPG 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.
