Mr. Hain: Carbon emissions from the NIO’s estate are calculated from energy data supplied by the NIO Energy Manager to Energy Branch in the Department of Finance and Personnel, which collates such data for all public sector bodies in Northern Ireland for publication in the annual Public Sector Energy Campaign Report. They use the following conversion factors (similar to those used by DEFRA) to calculate carbon emissions:
