The List of Grid Emission Factors aims to provide information to be utilized for research and analysis regarding emissions from electricity generation.
The database provides two types of grid: (1) CDM-based grid emission factors, those calculated and utilized by each registered CDM project and (2) Official grid emission factors published by host country governments or published as CDM standardized baseline approved by the CDM Executive Board
