[open-sustainability] Avg breakdown of emissions per sector for companies does this exist anywhere?

Presumably the DEFRA input-output supply chain stuff (http://discover.amee.com/categories/Indirect_Emissions_Supply_Chain) is insufficiently detailed for what you need? I'd always assumed that you could take the industry and the turnover and do a rough calculation from that…

For instance, 241 tons of co2 for a million pound turnover computer services company:

I may be abusing the methodology there though…

cheers,
