Emissions Factor
A coefficient that converts activity data (such as fuel consumption or distance traveled) into greenhouse gas emissions, typically expressed as kg CO2e per unit of activity.
In practice
Factors are dated because the grid, the fuel and the vehicle fleet change. A calculation is only repeatable if it names the factor version it used, which is why the factor set is pinned at approval.
