Petrol car

Emission intensity of passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles conversion factors should be used to report travel in cars and on motorcycles that are owned or controlled by the reporting organisation. This does not include employee-owned vehicles that are used for business purposes. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2021: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

Emission intensity of Well-to-Tank (WTT) for passenger vehicles and business travel on land. EF should be used to report the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction/refining and transportation of the raw fuels before they are used to power the transport mode. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2021: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

Emission intensity of average petrol car. The primary source is UK DEFRA Passenger vehicles 2019. WARNING: This emission factor has not passed our data validation process as the primary source reports the CH4 and N2O values in kg but the GHG protocol reports them in grams. We have included this for completeness to retain consistency with the source. NOTE: This dataset has been deprecated by the source.
