Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions biofuels (Kg CO2e)
What is the total scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from biofuels for the whole estate?
About the data
This field contains data about scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from biofuels. The value can be recorded to three decimal places.This is applicable to higher education providers (HEP) in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Reason required: for advice to Government, monitoring progress towards sector carbon targets and for use in producing Capital Investment Framework (CIF) metrics.

Methodology
Total scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from biofuels (Kg CO2 per litre) for the whole estate.
If a figure was returned under Energy consumption biofuels (kWh), higher education providers (HEPs) will need to calculate the scope 1 and 2 emissions.
The consumption figure returned by the HEP should be broken down by the type of biofuel, the component figures multiplied by the corresponding Defra conversion factors to produce the scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions. The sum of these should then be returned in this field.
The Defra conversion factors and guidance to support HEPs in returning this field can be found in the downloadable Excel spreadsheet, under the ‘Bioenergy’ tab.
