How Plan A Calculates Downstream Transportation and Distribution Emissions

The calculation method entails multiplying the distance travelled by the emission factors associated with the chosen vehicle and fuel type, timeframe, and location where the transportation takes place/starts. Within this scope category, the emission factor encompasses well-to-wheel emissions, meaning both tank-to-wheel emissions and well-to-tank emissions. Furthermore, for transportation with electric vehicles, the calculation method employs the location-based approach, which involves utilising emission factors that represent the average emissions from energy production and generation within the specified location and time frame.

The calculation methodology adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.

The calculation method entails multiplying the distance travelled by the mass of the objects driven and applying emission factors relevant to the specified vehicle, timeframe, and location (country where the transportation starts/ takes place). Within this scope category, the emission factor encompasses well-to-wheel emissions, meaning both tank-to-wheel emissions and well-to-tank emissions. Similarly, for vehicles that use electricity as an energy source, Plan A accounts for location-based emissions from both energy production and generation.

This calculation method entails multiplying the distance travelled by the mass delivered and applying emission factors relevant to the specified vehicle, timeframe, and location (country where the energy/fuel is used/combusted).

Within this scope category, the emission factor encompasses well-to-wheel emissions, meaning both tank-to-wheel emissions and well-to-tank emissions.

Furthermore, the calculation method automatically employs the location-based approach for emissions from electric vehicles, which involves utilising emission factors that represent the average emissions from energy generation within the specified location and time frame.

This calculation method entails multiplying the expenditure per business activity by an emission factor specific to transportation and/or warehousing and storage costs.

This calculation methodology adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.

The calculation method entails multiplying throughput mass or used area in the distribution centre by emission factors relevant to the type of logistic hubs. Within this scope category, the emission factor encompasses emission from combustion and energy provision processes of consumed fuels, the energy generation of purchased electricity and heating, as well as refrigerant leakage.

The calculation methodology adheres to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
