This category contains CO2 emissions factors for each electricity generation method used to supply grid electricity. It is a look-up category and so profile items should not be cre…
The category /transport/train/specific/diesel contains data on emissions associated with diesel powered trains based on testing and simulations in the UK, sourced from the Rail Saf…
The category at ''/transport/bus/generic/occupancy'' includes data for bus transport which allows you to set the expected occupancy and number of accounted passengers of bus transp…
The carbon intensity of electricity is related to the specific method of generation used (e.g. coal, gas, nuclear, wind), and therefore the CO2 emissions associated with national o…
This methodology models the emissions produced by a home in the UK. It is based on a cut-down version of RdSAP and was developed for the UK government's ActOnCO2 calculator. Inform…
Volume based stationary combustion of fuels. Calculates direct, indirect and life cycle carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e…
The term minibus refers to a vehicle designed to carry between 7 to 15 passengers. Small minibuses are sometimes called people carriers and many minibuses are variants on models of…
