Emissions and Conversion Factors

Materials emissions factors have been taken from the Inventory of Carbon and Energy (ICE) version 3 (please note that some of the emisisons factors in version 3 are the same as version 2). Energy, waste and transport emissions factors have been taken from the UK
Government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting 2020 (Defra: Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and DBEIS: Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy). Where an input unit is not required as a weight, such as a
number (no.) of products or metres of product, a conversion factor has been applied. This is based upon the weight of a product calculated using suppliers specifications and technical drawings. When a product contains multiple materials a weighted average carbon
factor has been calculated using multiple factors from the ICE V3. ICE carbon factors used within this tool include the embodied carbon within the raw materials but do not account for the carbon associated with the manufacture or processing of the raw materials into a
product prior to their purchase by the reporting contractor. Well to tank emissions, also known as upstream or indirect emissions, is an average of all the GHG emissions released into the atmosphere from the production, processing and delivery of a fuel. Well to tank
emissions have been included for fuels directly used on site, but not for fuels used by third parties transporting materials to and from the site.

Unladen
Assumed rail transport returns laden for purposes not related to the reporting contract and thus
Rail km Energy and Fuel 0.0 tCO2e/t.km
a zero carbon factor is applied.
Assumed ship transport returns laden for purposes not related to the reporting contract and
Ship km Energy and Fuel 0.0 tCO2e/t.km
thus a zero carbon factor is applied.
