Carbon emission coefficients for each type of land use and each major energy source.

Land Use Type Carbon Emission Factor (t/km2) Energy Carbon Emission Factor (t/tce) Energy Carbon Emission Factor (t/tce)
Cropland 49.7 [23] Coal 0.7559 [32] Kerosene 0.5714 [32]
Forestland −64.4 [22] FC 0.7559 [32] RDG 0.4602 [32]
Grassland −2.4 [25] Coke 0.8559 [32] LP 0.5042 [32]
Water −46 [24] Crude Oil 0.5857 [32] COG 0.3548 [32]
Unused land −0.5 [21] Fuel Oil 0.6185 [32] Heat 0.26 [32]
UCL - Gasoline 0.5538 [32] Electricity 2.5255 [32]
Diesel 0.5921 [32] BFG 0.3548 [32]

Where the carbon emission factor of the land class is less than zero, it means that the land class is a carbon sink class and has carbon absorption capacity; FC—Finished coal; RDG—Refinery Dry Gas; LP—Liquefied Petroleum; COG—Coke oven gas; BFG—Blast furnace gas.
