Our PPN 06 21 carbon reduction plan template includes sample emission factors for quick estimates

Carbon emission factors (often referred to simply as “emission factors”) are standardised estimates of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) or other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere as a result of a specific activity or fuel consumption. They are typically expressed as a quantity of greenhouse gases (e.g., kilograms of CO₂ equivalent) per unit of activity (e.g., per litre of fuel burned, per kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed, etc.).

We've included some basic example carbon emission factors to get you started. This way you can get an idea of the impact of the different types of activities.
