Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the fuel to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2018: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ at the source URL.

WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the fuel to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2025: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ at the source URL.

Emission intensity of bioethanol. Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. This EF does not include biogenic CO2 emissions.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 N2O and fossil CO2 only. This EF can be used to report 'in-scope' emissions in scope 1 as it excludes emissions of biogenic CO2. Use LCA activity 'biogenic_co2_combustion' for the biogenic CO2 emissions reported outside of scopes. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2023: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ at the source URL.

Emission intensity of bioethanol. Retrieved from the CSV file "Brandstoffenvoertuigen NL" from CO2 Emissiefactoren 2025.02 providing a standard list of CO2 emission factors.

Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission intensity of fuel. CH4 and N2O only. Excludes biogenic CO2 from combustion. Retrieved from the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting (2019) - revised version published 2022.

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the fuel to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Calculated on a net calorific value basis. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2025: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / DESNZ at the source URL.
