CoM Default Emission Factors for the Eastern Partner countries - Version 2017

The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy brings together thousands of local and regional authorities voluntarily committed to implementing climate mitigation and energy objectives on their territory. This JRC dataset provides an update to the Covenant of Mayors (CoM) default emission factors and an extension of the Business-As-usual Scenario coefficients initially published in Janssens-Maenhout et al. (2012), Iancu et al. (2014), and Cerutti et al. (2014) Joint Research Centre (JRC) technical reports. The CoM default emission factors can be used by local authorities in the Eastern Partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) of Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy initiative to estimate their CO2 or Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions due to: a) local consumption of fossil fuels and non-renewable wastes b) local consumption of biofuels, biomass, solar thermal and geothermal Renewable energy sources (RES) c) local electricity production from other RES (wind, hydroelectric, photovoltaics) d) local electricity consumption
