Please provide this information in excel format, if possible. Within this FOI if the response is <5 and an exact value cannot be provided, please clarify whether the value is zero or non-zero.

1) Greenhouse gas emissions emitted by the Ministry/Department as a whole for each of these financial years (in tonnes Co2e, or in the units the Department typically records them only if this previous metric is not used);
a) In addition to this data and separately from it, please provide the breakdown of this previous data on emissions for each of these years (in tonnes Co2e, or in the units the Department typically records them only if this previous metric is not used), which fall under:
