10:10 Emissions Reporting Tool (demo mode)
Welcome to the 10:10 Emissions Reporting Tool (demo mode). This tool allows you to play with the functions used to track and report your organisation’s emissions for your 10:10 commitment, without submitting any final data. A couple of things to bear in mind before you get started:
- To submit your organisation’s data, you’ll need to access the real version of the tool using the unique link we’ve emailed to you.
- If you need help, contact baseline@1010uk.org
1. Set your baseline year
Choosing your baseline year
First, you need to decide the year in which you’ll be making your carbon reductions. This can be any twelve month period between 1st July 2009 and 31st December 2011. This is your action year. Your baseline year is the twelve months preceding the start of your action year.
Come back later
Your 10:10 year has not yet begun. Come back on the ???. We’ll send you a reminder at the time.
If you mistakenly entered the wrong start date, you can change it above.
If in the meantime you’d like to experiment with the tool to see how it works and what data will be requested, temporarily enter an earlier baseline year to reveal the data entry boxes. When you are finished experimenting, reset the data to zero and switch back to your actual baseline year timing.
??? is my baseline year. My 10:10 action year is ???. I aim to cut my carbon emissions by 10% in my action year compared to the baseline year, as outlined in the methodology.
If this statement is correct, please proceed to entering your data. Otherwise, please select another baseline period before continuing. Need help with this section?
2. Enter your baseline data
Entering energy usage for each category
You should have all the data for each category to hand. Start entering it below. (Don’t receive your own bills?)
Enter data for the twelve months ending on ???. Each item should represent the total figure for the entire year.
Some organisations already calculate their own carbon emissions. If your organisation does this, you can alternatively enter your total emissions in each of the four key areas.
Results
Please enter your data.
Help setting your start date
Electricity and gas bills are usually issued every quarter, and because this is the only category of emissions where it is difficult to accurately monitor on an ongoing basis (unless you take your own meter readings and calculate it yourself), we suggest checking your bill to help determine a convenient start date.
Help entering data
Electricity and gas
Your utility bills should show the amount of electricity and gas you have used, both in kWh. If you have estimated bills, the best way to clarify your actual usage is to call your supplier and give them a meter reading. For electricity, all meters show kWh so this is straightforward, but gas meters have a variety of different units. Your supplier will be able to convert the units that your meter uses into kWh for you. (Don’t get billed for electricity and gas directly?)
Other on-site fuel use
If you use other fuels in addition to gas at your business premises, then please enter the amounts here. If you take deliveries of the fuel and have records of purchases then these should allow you to work out how much of each fuel you have used in the twelve months.
Vehicles
Enter the total amount of fuel used in your organisation’s vehicles. If you don’t record fuel consumption directly, you can convert the money spent on vehicle fuels into litres using average petrol and diesel prices for the period in question. Alternatively, if you know the number of miles or kilometres travelled in a vehicle, you can convert this to litres by doing a calculation based on the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
Flights
If you know the total mileage of your staff’s business flights, please enter this figure as it will give the most accurate results. If you don’t have mileage information available, enter the number of domestic, short-haul and long-haul flights taken. Short-haul is defined as anything less than 3700 km and long-haul is anything beyond that. (For example London–Cairo is 3500 km and London–New York is 5500km, approximately.)
Turnover
You can enter your turnover in any currency, provided you use the same currency when you come to enter your action year data.
