Hi Stephanie,
Bullfrog uses a blend of sources from across Canada, with at least 50% coming from the region in which you’re operating (so at least 50% from Ontario in the is case). As we source from higher carbon grids (in addition to some lower carbon grids as well), this will alter the emissions factor and cause it be different from Ontario’s own emissions factor. You’ll notice that the emissions reduced is higher due to the national mix (so Ontario’s blended factor is 0.248 g CO2e/KWh).
Thanks,
Sarah
