Klimakompasset v2025 - methodology
Summary
| Publisher | Klimakompasset v2025 |
| Full name | Klimakompasset |
| Description | Emission factors published in the Klimakompasset database, developed by Klimakompasset (klimakompasset.dk). This dataset contains GHG Protocol Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission factors in CO₂-equivalent, covering energy consumption (electricity, heating, cooling), industrial processes, waste, and other emission sources with Denmark-specific factors and multiple unit conversions. |
| Version nr. | v2025 |

Methodology readout notes
Emission factors are provided at the national level, covering mainly Denmark.
The latest available emission factors are those for 2024, released in September 2025. Note that a 1-year time shift is applied: data published covering the year Y is applied in Carbon+Alt+Delete for reporting periods covering the year Y+1. As such, recalculation of historical emission results is minimized. Moreover, this approach is consistent with all other databases.
Data considerations and notes
- Biogenic emissions are included, based on the assumptions that all positive emissions under "Udenfor scope (kg CO2-e)" are buigenic emission
- Under electricity, the option of green electricity is added as an additional zero emission factor.
- Emission factors are provided in CO₂e , without specific split per greenhouse gas
- The applied GWP is often unclear, as Klimakompasset is a combination of various underlying emission factor databases.
