Intergovernmental Panel For Climate Change (IPCC)
The top level information source for climate change and greenhouse gas calculation
and
United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC)
UK Greenhouse gas inventory national system
UK source data for national greenhouse gas emissions
The CALM methodology is based on the most recent National Inventory Report (we update annually and apply the most recent data to any reports already compiled). For those interested in the detail I suggest the first point of call is the Annex (parts 3.6 and 3.7 from pages 360 onwards) found on the link below. Be warned that there is a typing error (as of 11 June 2008) in the most recently published excretion factors shown in the report on page 366/367
