Update 30 October 2024

Due to a minor rounding error in the conversion factors 2024 tables published in June, we have updated a small number of factors for Passenger Vehicles, Delivery Vehicles, Business Travel – Land, Freighting Goods, and Managed Assets – Vehicles.

These are the factors for methane emissions from diesel use in km units by some vehicles. Further details are in the relevant conversion factors spreadsheets.

There are 3 sets of conversion factors:

• condensed set: -  this abridged version of the full set is easiest to navigate and most frequently requested. Recommended for most, and new, users of conversion factors
• full set: contains all available factors for the selected year. Recommended for advanced users only, due to the volume of information
• flat file set (only available from 2014): contains same data as the full set but designed for use in automated processes. Not recommended for most users

The methodology paper explains how the conversion factors are derived.

New users: read the introductory worksheet in the latest condensed set of conversion factors, and the guidance at the top of each individual worksheet.

Regular users: read the ‘what’s new’ sheet which highlights the significant changes for that update: this will ensure consistent and comparable reporting year-on-year.

Defra’s Environmental reporting guidelines provide more detail.
