"We've been populating the emissions calculator with data from several sources including energy use in over 1,000 buildings operating on a variety of fuels, our vehicle fleet of 2000 vans, cars and trucks, and electricity we generate from landfill gas. We can already see great potential for establishing high quality benchmarks for energy use and carbon dioxide production which will help us establish strategies, costs and smart targets for reduction. We have confidence in the conversion factors used in the calculator, and it can be adapted as necessary."
-- Jim Harbidge, Environmental Manager, Leeds City Council
