When to use
This should be the primary source of emission factors for UK organisations. Suitability for international use will depend on the specific factors, considering the geographic variability of underlying activity data.
Limitations
Emission factors for scope 3 categories are mostly based on UK circumstances (e.g. transport emissions based on UK fleet and infrastructure). Nevertheless, these are often applied internationally, in the absence of better alternatives.
