Gross operational greenhouse gas emissions (KgCO2e) per megalitre of treated water – location based
This graph shows greenhouse gas emissions created by the generation of power used to treat and supply water in the last two years. There are different ways to calculate greenhouse gas emissions. This graph shows ‘location-based’ emissions, using an average figure for the emissions from electricity in the region where it is used, which will give a consistent view of emissions over time.
As companies of different sizes have different levels of emissions, the amount of emissions in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent for each company has been divided by the volume of water treated in millions of litres.
There are other things that might make the level of emissions vary between companies, like the level of treatment needed and whether areas are flat or hilly. Including all these factors would make the graph very complicated so, to keep it simple, for this graph emissions have been divided just by the volume of water treated.
