| 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.

Cornerstone Sustainability Data Initiative
Cornerstone is a sustainability data initiative that maintains and publishes key US environmental datasets, including the US Environmentally-Extended Input-Output (USEEIO) family of models, the U.S. EPA's GHG Emission Factors Hub, and eGRID electricity emission factors, originally developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). USEEIO provides open emission factors across more than 400 sectors of the US economy and is widely used for Scope 3 corporate accounting, policy analysis, and academic research. The GHG Emission Factors Hub provides emission factors for a wide range of fuels, transportation modes, refrigerants, waste, and other activities commonly used in greenhouse gas inventories. eGRID provides detailed electricity generation emissions data for estimating the emissions intensity of grid-supplied electricity in the United States.
