Tracking and reporting CO2 emissions for business travel, particularly Scope 3.6 (Business Travel), can be complex when your data is based on spend rather than direct fuel consumption. However, KEY ESG provides a simple method to convert Euros spent on fuel into litres and calculate your emissions through our Scope 3.6 calculator. This guide will walk you through the process step by step, helping you ensure accurate and compliant emissions reporting.

KEY ESG has a limited number of spend-based fuel emission factors, as it is generally discouraged to use money-based factors for fuel emissions calculations due to the high fluctuations in prices.

When precise fuel consumption data for business travel is unavailable, estimating CO2 emissions based on the amount spent on fuel can be an effective alternative. This method allows organisations to assess their carbon footprint even when direct fuel usage details are missing, providing valuable insights for sustainability reporting and helping to track progress towards emission reduction goals.

By converting currency spent into estimated CO2 emissions using appropriate emission factors, organisations can maintain a level of accuracy in their reporting while acknowledging any limitations inherent in this spend-based approach. This method is particularly useful for organisations aiming to include all aspects of their Scope 3 emissions but who face data limitations in their current reporting processes.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly convert your spend-based fuel data into litres and accurately calculate your CO2 emissions using the KEY ESG Scope 3.6 Business Travel calculator. This method ensures that your emissions reporting is as precise as possible while remaining easy to implement.
