| Methodology description | The emission factors are based on the UK Government dataset “UK and England's carbon footprint”. The source uses Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) tables that link monetary value added by each industry with associated emissions. Climatiq has adjusted the factors for inflation and from basic to purchaser prices. Inflation adjustment: Spend-based factors are typically adjusted for inflation as the data used for emission factors is several years old and prices have changed in the meantime. The UK Government factors are three years behind the publication year—factors published in 2026 use 2023 prices. As inflation varies significantly by industry, it is best practice to use industry-specific inflation rates. The original UK Government emission factors use the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. The UK Government publishes Producer Price Inflation (PPI) price indices by SIC code for most manufacturing industries. A weighted average of the domestic and import PPI is used where available based on import data from the “Input-output supply and use tables” published by the UK ONS that underpin the EEIO model. The Service Producer Price Inflation (SPPI) provides price indices by SIC code for many services. Construction has its own price index: Construction output price indices. We use annual price indices, which are available from 2022 to 2025. The latest emission factors use 2023 prices, meaning we adjusted for inflation for 2024 and 2025. Adjustment to purchaser prices: For spend-based calculations, it is best practice to adjust basic prices to purchaser prices. Purchaser prices include distributors’ (wholesale and retail) margins and the net impact of government taxes and subsidies. To make these adjustments, we use the “Input-output supply and use tables” published by the UK ONS that underpin the EEIO model.
