Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) Calculator
Everything you need for SECR compliant reporting. Complete your analysis in just a few minutes.
What you need to complete your SECR disclosure:
Electricity and/or gas usage (in kWh)
Mileage of vehicles owned by your company;
Any other fuels or refrigerants used (e.g. air-con units).
Please note: the calculator & report builder may take a few seconds to load below.
How it works.
The Certified Carbon Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) Calculator is based on the latest government guidance, including the 2023 GHG conversion factors, which are relevant for all company accounts for periods ending up to December 2024.
In just a few clicks and a couple of minutes you can prepare and complete your SECR report.
The calculator categorises results into Scope 1 & Scope 2. It is intended for swift and easy compliant reporting - it doesn’t cover optional Scope 3 analysis.
Simple SECR with just 3 pieces of key data
-
1. Electricity & Gas usage
Get you kWh data from your annual electricity and gas bill. Energy suppliers need to provide this, so it should be readily viewable on your end of year statement.
-
2. Business Mileage
Get the distances travelled in cars and vehicles owned by your company in the year. If you haven’ got distances then you can supply the litres of fuel purchased. If you only have the amount spent, then you can convert this into litres of fuel using a standard price per litre.
If your company doesn’t own any vehicles, then you don’t have anything to report here.
-
3. Fuels, Refrigerants and Other
For Quoted Companies: should also report their usage of fuels, refrigerants and/or other Scope 1 & 2 emissions to report, such as heat & steam. Many companies will have nothing to report here.
More than just a calculator
This Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting calculator is for companies looking to quickly and easily comply with their reporting requirements, without spending significant amounts on consultants, in accordance with advice provided by the government.
The calculator provides you with your Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data, relevant energy usage and carbon intensity statistics.
It also provides you with templated narrative for energy efficiency actions and the methodology used for the calculations, giving you everything you need for your SECR report, all in just a few minutes.

Quoted (public) companies and large companies or LLPs: more than £36M of turnover, 250 employees or a balance sheet total of more than £18M. Although there are some exemptions, the most common being for low energy users (<40,000 kWh).
Any other company can voluntarily choose to complete an SECR disclosure too.
-
There are five key elements:
(1) Energy usage - in terms of carbon footprint and kWh.
(2) Intensity ratio
(3) Energy efficiency improvements in the year
(4) Methodology
(5) Prior year comparison, if you reported in the prior year.
-
Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as company vehicles or onsite fuel combustion.
Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
-
Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions from sources not owned or controlled by the company, like business travel, supply chain activities, or employee commuting.
-
No. You can report Scope 3 emissions, but it is not compulsory within an SECR disclosure.
-
At the very least you should report your annual UK energy use (in KWh) relating to gas, purchased electricity and transport fuel and associated greenhouse gas emissions (in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)).
Carbon accounting can be a confusing landscape to navigate.
