On November 25th 2025, we updated the conversion factors used to calculate location-based emissions emerging from electricity consumption using the latest and most accurate data available. The update applies to data from 2024 and 2025.
Countries included in the 2024 update are Australia, India and Portugal.
Countries included in the 2025 update are Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Spain.
The enhancement ensures you receive more accurate and up-to-date insights into your emissions.
Which categories are affected?
The electricity conversion factor is used in a range of calculation methods involving electricity. It applies to all calculation methods under Purchased Electricity (including National Averages), electricity emissions in Fuel- and energy-related activities, and is used to calculate the electricity use emerging from Work from home emissions (under Category 7 Employee Commute). It is also applies when electric vehicles are used across Employee commute, Upstream and Downstream transportation, Use of sold products, Downstream leased assets, and Investments.
How will the new conversion factors be applied?
Data uploaded before November 25th 2025:
Your Purchased electricity and Fuel- and energy-related emission calculations will remain unchanged. They were calculated using previous conversion factors and will not be changed without your direct action.Data uploaded or re-uploaded on or after November 25th 2025:
The updated conversion factors will be applied automatically to relevant data. Purchased electricity and Fuel- and energy-related emissions for the countries included in this update will be recalculated using the updated factors for 2024 and 2025 respectively. These updates may result in higher or lower reported emissions depending on the country. Once processed, previous emission calculations cannot be restored.
Should I reprocess my previous emission calculations?
All previous emission calculations remain valid and don’t require reprocessing. However, if you are in the process of setting targets, or wish to have more direct comparability in your emissions years, you have the option to do so. Feel free to get in touch if you have further questions on this.
What is the estimated impact on reprocessed emissions?
We’ve estimated the changes in emissions by comparing the updated conversion factors with the data available before the November 25th update. The percentage change reflects the estimated increase or decrease in emissions after applying the new conversion factors. Expand the tables below to see a detailed breakdown by year and location.
