How it works
Submit data
The West of England Carbon Challenge focuses on carbon emissions, the most significant of the greenhouse gases. By signing up, members agree to measure energy usage at the sites they identify in the region, which they then submit via the secure log in area of this website
Members need to collect and submit energy data for their sites. For the data to be credible we at least two thirds - or 67% - of each site's data to be accurate. This will include:
- Electricity - meter readings or consumption data submitted in kilowatt hours
(kWh)
- Gas - meter readings / consumption data submitted in kWh
- Fuel oil, LPG, coal - in tonnes, kilograms, kWh or litres
- Verified emissions - covered by IPPC Directive or the EU Emissions
Trading Scheme.
