Electricity - high voltage (market for electricity - high voltage)

Emission intensity of WTT transmission & distribution UK. Well-to-Tank (WTT) conversion factors for UK and overseas electricity should be used to report the Scope 3 emissions of extraction and refining and transportation of primary fuels before their use in the generation of electricity. It should be noted that electricity generation and transmission and distribution losses have separate WTT emissions assigned to them. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2019: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.
