Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of national rail. The primary source is UK DEFRA - Business Travel - land 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 and will be removed soon.
