There are five Downstream Leased Assets calculation methods to choose from:

  • Fuel consumption uses your fuel consumption. This is our recommended calculation method as it provides the most accurate results.

  • Average fuel consumption | Distance driven uses uses the average fuel consumption of your vehicles and the distance driven.

  • Distance and mass transported uses the distance travelled, the vehicle type (van or truck), and mass transported.

  • Distance uses the distance driven, vehicle type (e.g. van, truck, motorcycle, bike) and fuel type (e.g. electricity).

  • Bring Your Own Emissions allows you to upload your own pre-calculated emissions to the Plan A platform. For more information, see here.

Our calculation methods are listed from most accurate to least accurate. We recommend calculation methods based on their accuracy, but ultimately, you should choose a calculation method that fits the data you have access to.

For more information on how to choose a calculation method, read the Choose a Calculation Method article.

โš ๏ธ We currently support calculating emissions from rented or leased combustion-engine and electric vehicles which may not cover your downstream leased assets emissions to the full extent. This is reflected in the calculation methods available.
