Frequently asked questions
- What is the emissions factor for ethylene oxide?
- The emissions factor for ethylene oxide ranges by sourcing region. Publicly visible values are 2.032 to 2.032 kg CO2e / kg, while some sources are locked in this public view.
- Which country has the lowest carbon footprint for ethylene oxide?
- Based on available data, the lowest emissions option is 2.032 kg CO2e / kg in Europe.
- How do I reduce Scope 3 Category 1 emissions from ethylene oxide?
- Switching to lower-emissions sourcing regions is one of the most effective ways to reduce Scope 3 Category 1 emissions from ethylene oxide. Use the comparison table on this page to identify lower-carbon options.
- What lifecycle stages are included in the ethylene oxide emissions factor?
- The emissions factor includes land use change (LUC), land management (LMGT), and energy inputs (ENI) where data is available, covering the full farm-gate carbon footprint.
- Can I use these ethylene oxide emissions factors for supplier-level reporting?
- Yes. These emissions factors can serve as activity-based estimates for Scope 3 Category 1 (purchased goods and services) reporting under GHG Protocol. For higher accuracy, supplier-specific primary data is recommended.
