The Local Bus (not London) conversion factor in the “Transport and Environment 2022” statistical release has been revised, following the discovery of an error, caused by the conversion of that factor from passenger kilometres to passenger miles. The conversion factor was listed as 0.128 CO2e per mile, and should have been listed as 0.173 per mile.
This error caused the emissions of the bus journey from Sunderland to Newcastle to be given as 2.48 KGCO2e rather than the correct value, 3.14 KGCO2e (a difference of 0.66 KG), and a journey from Morley to Leeds to be given as 0.97 KGCO2e rather than the correct value, 1.23 KGCO2e (a difference of 0.26 KG).
We have therefore revised table ENV0701 and the interactive dashboard in the statistical release.
Statistics on a range of transport and environment topics including greenhouse gases and pollutants emitted by transport. Includes experimental statistics comparing the environmental impact of various journeys in the UK by different modes of transport and carbon emissions from transport by local authority.
Data on the emissions from journeys across the United Kingdom, by mode is available from the energy and environment data tables page.
An interactive version of data on comparing journey emissions is available. Further details, including data and methodology is available.
