How to correctly cite these factors in your GHG Footprint Reporting Methodology:-

Temporal Relevance

The 2024 factors are based on the latest UK Footprint data published by DEFRA in 2024. Please note that DEFRA has a 3 year time lag producing the data, ie. 2024 factors are actually based on the 2021 UK Government Footprint Data, etc.

It is common to have a time lag in emissions factors, eg. the BEIS UK Government Grid Electricity factor for 2023 is actually based on emissions data from 2021.

Our mission is to speed up the Race to Zero, providing straight forward, pragmatic solutions for Government & The Private Sector.
