Carbon intensity takes into account emissions occurring production and transportation of fuel or the fact that plants grown for biofuels actually suck CO2 out of the atmosphere. However, direct emissions statistics don’t reflect a fuel’s carbon intensity, that is, what happened before a fuel is actually used.
