Data Version 16.16

This is Data Version 16.16. The highest major version is 16, and the highest minor version is 16. To use the major version, you can use ^16. To use it as a minor version, you can use x.16, e.g., 0.16 or 1.16. This data version was released on August 19th, 2024.

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.

Normalisation

We have standardised 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 standardised fuel-use (e.g. mobile / stationary) within activity ids so that each use has the same fuel-use even if it is labelled differently by the source.

Biogenic fuels

For biogenic fuels the same activity_id now covers biogenic and fossil emissions. Biogenic emissions are labelled 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
