- The IPCC assessment report whose conversion rates express each gas as CO2.
Coverage. Scope 1 and 2 complete. Scope 3 categories 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 included; 8 to 15 excluded. The total below covers only what is listed here.
Headline figures
Total emissions and the three GHG Protocol scopes. Scope 2 is location-based; where a market-based figure was reported it is shown beside it, never added to it.
Largest emission sources
Top eight IPCC 2006 categories, ranked by emissions. The code is the international category identifier.
| Code | Category | Emissions (tCO2e) |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1a | Electricity generation (purchased grid electricity) | 4,836 |
| 1A2e | Manufacturing — food processing, beverages and tobacco | 3,106 |
| 3A1a | Enteric fermentation — cattle | 2,509 |
| 1A3b | Road transportation — fleet and logistics | 2,440 |
| 2A1 | Cement production (process emissions) | 1,842 |
| 4A1 | Managed waste disposal sites | 1,416 |
| 1A4a | Commercial and institutional buildings — stationary fuel | 1,034 |
| 2F1 | Refrigeration and air conditioning (F-gases) | 804 |
Emissions by sector
The four top-level IPCC sectors. IPPU is industrial processes and product use; AFOLU is agriculture, forestry and other land use.
| Category | Emissions (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Energy — fuel combustion and fugitive emissions | 15,287 |
| Industrial processes and product use (IPPU) | 4,086 |
| Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) | 2,509 |
| Waste — landfill, wastewater and incineration | 1,793 |
How reliable is the Scope 3 figure?
Share of the 12,739 tCO2e Scope 3 total by calculation method. Darker means more reliable — supplier-specific data beats an estimate from spend.

- Estimated from money spent — the least precise
How these figures were calculated
The sources, conversion rates and standards behind every number on this page.
- Emission factor sources
- IPCC 2006 default factors; Eskom grid emission factor 2025 for purchased electricity; DEFRA 2025 for transport fuels; supplier-specific factors where provided.
- Warming potentials
- AR6 100-year global warming potentials — the conversion rates that express each gas as an equivalent amount of CO2.
- Standards
- Categorised under IPCC 2006; grouped by GHG Protocol scopes 1, 2 and 3. Published as a permanent snapshot on 19 Jun 2026.
