Calculators / Scope 3
Grid losses, Italy calculator
Scope 3 category 3. Enter the electricity you consumed in Italy; LCALens applies ISPRA's published share of grid losses for that year and ISPRA's CO2 factor for the electricity lost. Use it alongside the gross production factor in Scope 2, not with the consumption factor (which already includes losses). CO2 only.
Enter an amount to see the emissions and the factor behind them.
