1 September 2011: DECC and DEFRA have issued their latest 2011 GHG Conversion Factors Methodology Paper for Emission Factors which, amongst many fuel types, includes detailed guidance on the important issue of grid (electricity) emissions factors: these represent the average CO2 emission from the UK national grid per kWh of electricity used at the point of final consumption (i.e. transmission and distribution losses are included). Much more in the paper.
