France Emission Factors

2,612 emission factors for France, gathered from 18 parts of the GreenCalculus MasterBrain — Food Product Footprints (2,451), Spend-Based Intensity (76), Waste Disposal Routes (34), Well-to-Tank (Upstream) (13), Fuel Combustion (8) and 13 others — so figures normally spread across separate reference pages sit on one. Drawn from 14 named sources, each listed with its publisher and licence under Sources below, and read live from the data layer on every page build. They span 19 units of measurement, which is why the spread below is reported per unit and never blended.

Where these factors also appear

Each factor here also appears on the reference page for its own family — Spend-Based Emission Factors by Industry, Grid Electricity Carbon-Intensity Factors by Country, Carbon Price Reference Values, District Heating & Cooling Emission Factors and Grid Transmission & Distribution Loss Factors — where it sits alongside every other country. This page is the same data cut to one country, for when that is the question being asked.

What this group contains

Figures are computed per unit and never blended: a median across different units would be arithmetically valid and physically meaningless. 11 further units in this group have fewer than 3 factors and are counted above but not described.

What has changed

Change history is reconstructed from every released edition of the data layer, v2025.13 to v2026.107. A factor absent from this table has held the same value throughout. A change shown as a dash moved off zero, where a percentage has no meaning. 9 further revalued factors are not listed here.

Values change between editions. Quoting the MasterBrain version is what lets a reader resolve the exact number you used. See the change record above for factors in this group that have moved.

The open API is browsed by section, not by country, so no single address returns exactly this page. Its 2,612 factors sit in 18 sections of the API, each of which also returns other countries. No key, no signup:

Both responses carry an X-GC-Version header, so a consumer can detect a new edition without diffing the payload. The CSV filename carries the edition too, so two downloads months apart do not collide.
