The Defra conversion factors and guidance states that if an organisation is generating electricity and exporting it to the National Grid then an emission reduction should be reported. HESA will include this emission reduction when calculating scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions.

HESA will use the following guidance when calculating the scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions:

  • multiplying the consumption figures by the relevant conversion factor for that fuel,
  • subtracting emissions equivalent to electricity generated and exported to the National Grid.
