Breakdown by scope
Factors: DEFRA 2024 (Scope 1 & 3), national inventories via EEA 2023 (Scope 2 grid). Indicative estimate for planning and screening only. Replace with metered activity data and audited factors before reporting under CSRD, VSME or SBTi.
How this country's factor is derived
Cyprus's 2023 electricity emission factor of 0.622 kg CO₂e/kWh is drawn from the EEA and the country's National Inventory Report 2024. The Vasilikos and Dhekelia power stations still burn heavy fuel oil and diesel for baseload — that fuel mix is what makes the Cypriot grid the highest-carbon in the EU.
- 2023 electricity emission factor
- 0.622 kg CO₂e / kWh · EEA / Cyprus National Inventory Report 2024 (2023).
- Grid mix drivers
- Heavy fuel oil + diesel still supply the bulk of baseload electricity generation. · The EuroAsia Interconnector (scheduled for late-decade) will link Cyprus to Israel and Greece and open the door to grid decarbonisation. · Rooftop solar is scaling fast but curtailment and storage limits keep grid displacement below its technical potential.
- Scope 1 · Natural gas
- 0.184 kg CO₂e / kWh · DEFRA 2024.
- Scope 1 · Diesel & petrol
- 2.51 kg / L diesel, 2.31 kg / L petrol · DEFRA 2024.
- Scope 3 · Purchased goods (spend-based)
- 0.35 kg CO₂e / EUR · EEIO screening factor. Replace with supplier-specific before disclosure.
Worked example
Take a Nicosia-based consultancy with 45 people and 120,000 kWh of annual grid electricity. On the Cypriot factor of 0.622, Scope 2 alone reaches 74.6 tCO₂e — more than 12× what the same building would emit if it sat in France. Add typical Scope 1 (a small diesel backup generator, 800 L) and Scope 3 (25,000 km of business driving, 15,000 km of intra-EU flights, €400k of purchased services), and the total footprint sits around 220 tCO₂e / year. The lever is unambiguous: a corporate PPA or Guarantee-of-Origin tariff cuts Scope 2 to near zero and shifts the emissions story from grid captive to genuine value-chain work on Scope 3.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Cyprus's grid emission factor so high compared to the EU average?
Cyprus is an electricity island with no cross-border interconnector yet in operation. Baseload comes from heavy fuel oil and diesel at Vasilikos and Dhekelia — fuels that emit roughly 3× more CO₂ per kWh than a modern combined-cycle gas plant. The EU-27 average sits near 0.253 kg CO₂e/kWh; Cyprus is 2.5× that.Does the calculator support Cypriot Guarantees of Origin or PPAs?
The calculator uses the location-based method — the physical grid factor for Cyprus (0.622). If you hold Guarantees of Origin or have signed a PPA, calculate the market-based number separately using your supplier's residual mix. The GHG Protocol requires both figures to be disclosed for Scope 2.Are the calculations audit-grade?
No. The tool is an indicative screening estimate using published 2024 factors. For CSRD, VSME or SBTi disclosure you still need metered activity data, a defined organisational boundary and - for Scope 2 - dual location-based and market-based reporting.Is my data saved anywhere?
No. Every value stays in your browser's local storage. Nothing is uploaded, shared or read by us.Can I export the report for my auditor?
Yes. "Save as PDF" produces a print-formatted report. "Download CSV" gives you the raw data for Excel or a reporting platform.
