Factor source
UK DESNZ Government greenhouse gas conversion factors for company reporting 2026, 'Business travel- air', 'Business travel- land' and 'Business travel- sea' categories.
Radiative forcing included
yes
Worked out from US EPA, Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors Hub and 3 other sources.
Uses published average factors for the mode. Actual emissions vary with load factor, routing and aircraft or vehicle type.

How this is worked out

4 steps
  1. Distance 1000 km.
  2. 1000 km x 0.22928 kg CO2e per passenger-km = 229.28 kg CO2e per passenger
  3. Total 229.28 kg CO2e (0.2293 tonnes).
  4. This factor includes the radiative-forcing uplift for non-CO2 effects at altitude.
