Information about our level of greenhouse gas emissions and our current carbon audit
Our carbon audit report
Our carbon audits cover the financial year and are reported on a yearly basis. We use Official Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) greenhouse gas reporting conversion factors to calculate our emissions.
Here at the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk:
- The base year for our audit is 2009/2010. This is the earliest data that we have available to us. Our emissions have reduced by 64% from our base year.
- We started an annual carbon audit programme in 2018/2019. Previous greenhouse gas emissions were reported until 2014/2015, in line with earlier guidance.
- We emitted 2,607.53 tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) in the 2022/2023 financial year. This is an 8% reduction from our 2021/2022 audit.
