Data Release 5

This is Data Release 5, released on September 18, 2023. To use the (automatically-updating) dynamic version, you can use ^5. To use the fixed (unchanging) version, you can use 5. See more information about our data versioning scheme at the reference page.

Simplified data versions

We have simplified how we talk about and accept data versions based on user feedback. The 5.5 version format still works and is equivalent to the new fixed version format 5.

Data Added

BEIS: the latest spend-based dataset has been added - the data are valid from year 2020.

Data Changed

Find a link at the end of this document to a structured table listing all changes.

ClimateTRACE coal factors fixed

We corrected the activity units for coal mining EFs from Climate Trace. After getting in touch with them, they let us know about the unit error on their end.

BEIS international short-haul flights

We corrected the class for BEIS international short-haul flights with and without RF effect.

Data Removed

We removed the Quantis and GHG Protocol Scope 3 Evaluator dataset from the EFDB since the tool is not available anymore (after the 30th of August) on their website.
