Factor Watch

Know the moment a factor you rely on changes.

DEFRA reissues its factors every year. Grid intensities get restated. The IPCC revises methodologies. Factor Watch emails you when an emission factor or dataset you follow is revised — the old value, the new value, and the source.

UK grid intensity fell sharply as coal left the mix and renewables grew. If your 2025 inventory used the old figure, your Scope 2 total is overstated — here’s what to restate.

What you’ll get

The data you already use — the day it changes

Three kinds of email, and nothing else. No marketing, ever.

Change alerts

When a factor or dataset you follow is revised, superseded or corrected — the old value, the new value, and the exact source cell it came from.

Methodology briefings

Plain-English explainers when the frameworks move — GHG Protocol, PCAF, CSRD/ESRS, CBAM — and what it means for your inventory.

New data & tools

The new datasets, calculators and API endpoints we publish — so the reference you cite stays current.
