What are greenhouse gas conversion factorswalled ashwahThis document provides guidelines for calculating greenhouse gas emissions using conversion factors published by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). It introduces the conversion factors and explains how to use them to calculate emissions from activities like energy use, transport, waste disposal, and supply chains. The factors allow calculation of emissions in units of kg of carbon dioxide equivalent by converting activity data like fuel usage or miles traveled. Annexes provide specific conversion factors and guidance for calculating emissions from fuels, electricity, transport, refrigerants, biomass, and other sources.
