| Methodology description | Climatiq has created emission factors for an average commute in different regions of the UK using publicly available data. These are intended to give a first, screening-level estimate of commuting emissions where no other data is available. The emission factors represent one day’s two-way commute. The distances traveled by each mode of transport are derived from the tables listed below. The final commuting emission factors are calculated by multiplying these distances (km) by the emission factor values (CO2e per km or passenger-km) for each mode of transport. They include upstream emissions from fuel production.

ADEME
ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique) is the French Agency for Ecological Transition and offers a wide range of emission factors to support the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in France. These emission factors are used to estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with various activities, such as energy consumption and transportation.
