About Bafa
The German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) publishes annually updated CO2 emission factors to support consistent reporting and monitoring of energy and resource-related greenhouse gas emissions across regulatory, funding, and compliance programs in Germany. Note: The CO2 factors are not universally valid and are not intended for the preparation of scientific papers in particular.

EXIOBASE
EXIOBASE is a global, detailed Multi-Regional Environmentally Extended Supply-Use Table (MR-SUT) and Input-Output Table (MR-IOT). It was developed by harmonising and detailing supply-use tables for a large number of countries, estimating emissions and resource extractions by industry. Subsequently, the country supply-use tables were linked via trade creating an MR-SUT and producing MR-IOTs from this. The MR-IOT can be used for the analysis of the environmental impacts associated with the final consumption of product groups. The EXIOBASE emission factors use basic prices. The basic price represents the initial cost set by a producer for a product or service, without additional fees like taxes or delivery costs (referred to as tax and transport margins). The values in the Climatiq Database might not be exactly the same as the ones you find on the EXIOBASE download page due to the prices used.
