| 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.
