# Naphtha emission factor (India): 3.26 kg CO2 per kg

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

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.
