Calculators / Scope 2
Electricity, Italy (location-based) calculator
Location-based Scope 2 emissions from Italian grid electricity, using the national factors published by ISPRA. ISPRA publishes CO2 only, so results are reported as CO2. Choose the basis and the year that matches your consumption. With the gross production basis, add grid losses with the Grid losses, Italy calculator.
Enter an amount to see the emissions and the factor behind them.
Guides
- Italian electricity emission factors (ISPRA): production, consumption and grid losses
Which ISPRA factor to use for electricity in Italy, what each one includes, how they have changed since 1990, and a worked example for 100,000 kWh.
- Location-based vs market-based Scope 2: what each method measures
The two Scope 2 methods in the GHG Protocol, when you must report both, what counts as contractual evidence, and what the 2025 revision proposes.
- Corporate carbon footprint in Italy: data, factors and reporting
What an Italian company needs for a GHG inventory: ISPRA electricity and grid-loss factors, guarantees of origin, fuels, and where the EU's CSRD and VSME fit in.
- What is an emission factor, and how do you choose the right one?
How emission factors turn activity data into emissions, where official factors come from (DESNZ, ISPRA, EPA, IPCC), and six checks before you use one.
- Scope 2 emissions from electricity and heat: how to calculate them
A step-by-step method for Scope 2: which data to collect, which grid factor to use in the UK and Italy, how to handle heat and steam, and what to report.
