FARM ES produces a lifecycle based GHG emissions estimate (cradle to farmgate). The electricity emissions factor is also lifecycle based. It is 0.842 kg CO2e / kg FPCM. This was originally derived from the ecoinvent database. We are exploring updating the electricity and energy emission factors in the future using DOE factors (e.g. those found in the GREET model). We do not recommend replacing the emissions factor with the eGRID factor since it isn’t lifecycle based.
