Emission factor summary

Emission intensity WTT for goods transported by diesel HGV (>17t) with average laden. Well-to-tank (WTT) conversion factors for delivery vehicles & freighting goods 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.
