See more information about our data versioning scheme at the reference page.
16.16 version format still works and is equivalent to the new fixed version format 16.New Data
- UK Government (BEIS / DEFRA) 2024 activity-based dataset
- Hotel emission factors segmented by star ranking (2, 3, 4, 5) at a country and city level, provided by Greenview.
- Biogenic CO2 emission factors from multiple sources including UK Government (BEIS / DEFRA), EPA, CBAM, and GHG Protocol.
Data Changed
This list only covers major changes. Changes covering a smaller subset of emission factors, or changes such as name or description changes, are not listed. Find a link at the end of this document to a structured table listing all changes.
Normalization
We have standardized fuel-type (fuel name) within activity ids so that each fuel has the same fuel-type even if it is called something different by the source.
We have standardized fuel-use (e.g. mobile / stationary) within activity ids so that each use has the same fuel-use even if it is labeled differently by the source.
Biogenic fuels
For biogenic fuels the same activity_id now covers biogenic and fossil emissions. Biogenic emissions are labeled by a new source_lca_activity - biogenic_co2_combustion.
We have updated the descriptions of biogenic emission factors to clarify what they represent and how they can be used.
Data Removed
No data has been removed in this release
