Climate change data

Data notes:

• Direct energy includes fossil fuels and waste-derived fuels, including biomass fuels; Indirect energy includes electricity.
• Annual data reported as December to November.

Data notes:

• In 2011 this data has been restated to remove the international businesses.
• Annual data reported as December to November.

Data notes:

• This data represents our energy provider's use of fuels to generate the electricity we purchase.
• Annual data reported as December to November.

Data notes:

• Includes electricity, fossil fuels and waste-derived fuels, including biomass fuels.
• Annual data reported as December to November.
• Cement and lime data are excluded for reasons of commercial confidentiality.
• Ready mixed concrete previously reported as 'MJ/m³', reporting unit has been changed to 'MJ/t' and backdated for comparability.
• Sand and gravel data includes land won, wharfs, Tarmac Marine Dredging (TMD) and sand drying; figures have been updated to reflect more accurate data capture.
• Energy efficiency of land won sand and gravel = 41.26 MJ/t.
• The percentage specific energy consumption reduction figure quoted in the report includes all products and energy, so is different to the data set above, which is provided for comparison with the industry.

Data notes:

• Direct CO₂e emissions include Scope 1 direct CO₂e emissions from combustion of fossil fuels and waste-derived fuels, excluding biomass, and direct process emissions.
• Indirect CO₂e emissions include Scope 2 emissions from electricity.
• Annual data is for December to November.
• For all except cement and lime, CO₂e emissions are calculated using Guidelines to Defra's Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors for Company Reporting – for the appropriate year's data.
• For cement and lime, emissions are reported in accordance with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Guidelines.

Data notes:

• Includes direct emissions from process emissions and combustion of fossil fuels and waste-derived fuels, excluding biomass, indirect emissions from electricity.
• Process emissions are the carbon dioxide released by the chemical change of limestone into calcium oxide during the manufacture of lime and cement.
• Annual data reported as December to November.

Data notes:

The emissions in each category are explained below:

• Purchased fuels: Indirect emissions associated with the extraction and transport of primary fuels as well as the refining, distribution, storage and retail of finished fuels.
• Water supply and treatment: Emissions of greenhouse gases associated with the supply and treatment of water and the industry's buildings and transport.
• Employee business travel: Emissions associated with the production and use of fuel for transporting employees for business purposes; this category includes all business mileage, air travel and rail travel.
• Product distribution: Emissions associated with the production and use of fuel for transporting products; this category includes distribution by road and rail of all products from the quarry materials business.
• Waste disposal to licensed landfill: Emissions associated with the disposal of waste to landfill; 'mixed commercial and industrial waste' factors are used in the absence of more specific data. This includes the waste sent to licensed landfill from our recycling business.
• Landfill emissions: Emissions associated with the flaring of methane from landfill sites owned and operated by Tarmac's quarry materials business. The figures are estimated according to gas pumping rates and typical methane concentration.

Data notes:

• Includes direct emissions from process emissions and combustion of fossil fuels and waste-derived fuels, excluding biomass, indirect emissions from electricity.
• Reported figures are carbon dioxide equivalents and account for the impact of the emission of other greenhouse gases; this is a more complete reporting method but gives slightly higher results than kgCO₂/t.
• Annual data reported as December to November.
• Cement and lime data excluded for reasons of commercial confidentiality.
• Sand and gravel data includes land won, wharfs, Tarmac Marine Dredging (TMD) and sand drying; figures have been updated to reflect more accurate data capture.
• Land won sand and gravel emissions = 4.04 kg CO₂e/tonne.
• The percentage specific carbon emissions reduction figure quoted in the report includes all products and energy, so is different to the data set above, which is provided for comparison with the industry.

Data notes:

• CO₂ emissions per tonne of PCe reduced by 41% compared to the 1998–2000 baseline.
• Baseline is the average for 1998/1999/2000. Includes direct combustion and process emissions according to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Guidelines.

Data notes:

• Baseline is the average for 1998/1999/2000. Includes direct combustion and process emissions according to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Guidelines.
