How are the emission conversion factors updated?
Open this screen in Saral/accounts/carbon-data?view=report
Conversion factors are versioned data — one UK Government set per year, chosen by the period's start, never invented. On the Emissions report view the factors panel reads the latest DESNZ workbook and proposes each factor with the row it cites; a person applies it. Nothing is applied by itself, because the risk is in the mapping (generation vs transmission, gross vs net calorific value). Syncing factors needs carbon.manage.
