Emission factor summary

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 raw fuel sources to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. The emission factor is calculated using the Net Calorific Value. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2021: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.
