the IEA (International Energy Agency) emission factors for 2017 have been used.
- Indirect Electricity Emissions - Market-based: zero emissions have been considered for green electricity consumed in Germany, Spain, Portugal and UK; also, it has
been considered that in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Poland and USA, part of electricity consumption is green energy. This altogether has meant a reduction of 153,582
tons of CO2 equivalent in 2020 and 138,660 in 2019. For the rest of the electrical energy consumed, the emission factor of the IEA corresponding to each country
has been applied
