What is the Defra methodology for air travel?

DEFRA's methodology for evaluating carbon emissions from passenger flights incorporates a range of factors. These include the aircraft's fuel consumption, flight distance, type of aircraft, and even the indirect effects of high-altitude emissions. The aim is to offer a holistic view of a flight's environmental impact.

What are the scope 3 emission factors for Defra?

DEFRA Scope 3 Factors. These factors cover indirect emissions from the supply chain and include CO2, CH4, N2O and F-gas emissions. Indirect emissions are those which are generated by other organisations as part of the process of providing goods and services to your company.

What is the CO2 equivalent of GHGs?

GHG emissions are often measured in carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent. To convert emissions of a gas into CO2 equivalent, its emissions are multiplied by the gas's Global Warming Potential (GWP). The GWP takes into account the fact that many gases are more effective at warming Earth than CO2, per unit mass.

How to calculate CO2e from methane?

To calculate methane emissions in terms of CO2e, you must multiply the amount of methane it by its GWP. For instance, to calculate the carbon dioxide equivalent of ten metric tons of methane, simply multiply 10 by 25 (the GWP of methane).

What are the 5 principles of GHG protocol?

a true and fair account of emissions and removals aligned with international best practices and key GHG accounting principles (rel- evance, accuracy, completeness, consistency, transparency, and conservativeness, permanence, and comparability if relevant to the accounting topic).
