Revised CRC emission factors

Regulators from across the devolved governments have published new conversion and emission factors for the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency (CRC) scheme

The Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Northern Ireland Environment Agency have issued revised conversion factors and emission factors for organisations participating in the CRC scheme.

The conversion factors enable organisations to change the quantity of a particular fuel supply into the CRC standard unit to fulfil its reporting obligations under the scheme, while the emission factors measure the amount of pollution produced when a certain quantity of electricity is supplied or a supply of gas or other fuel is processed or burned.
