Please note that if you want to access these calculations, you need to activate the CO2 option. For this, please contact the member of our Customer Excellence team dedicated to you.
Our calculation method is certified by the European standard EN 16258 and by the GLEC framework (we have used both methods to provide an accurate assessment).
Currently, to validate our calculation, we have to use the standard average distance. However, by taking into account transhipments, multiple legways and transport means with a high level of accuracy, we get much closer to the real route.
In order to make the calculation of the CO2 more precise, Wakeo uses transhipment data. As Wakeo tracks your shipments, we are able to know where your conatainers have been transhipped. You will then get more accurate transport emissions.
To calculate the CO2 emissions, Wakeo uses the following data :
- Transport modes used.
- Places of Departure and Arrival of the container.
- Standard distance of your shipments including transhipments tracked by Wakeo.
- Transport specificities according to carriers used (vessel type, aircraft, vehicle type, fuel types, etc.)
- Actual load (weight).
- Energy provision, production & distribution as well as transport operation. Well-to-Wheel: Well-to-tank (WTT) & Tank-to-Wheel (TTW)
Here is what Wakeo can calculate on a shipment:
- Primary Energy Consumption - The key indicator for the consumption of natural resources.
- CO2 : Carbon Dioxide Emissions - The greenhouse effect key indicator
- CO2e : Dreenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2. Including: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N20) - greenhouse effect
- NOX : Nitrogen oxide emissions - Acidification, eutrophication, ecotoxicity, human toxicity, summer smog.
- SOX : Sulphur oxide emissions - Acidification, ecotoxicity, human toxicity
- NMHC : Non-methane hydrocarbons - Human toxicity, summer smog
- PM10 : Particulate matter from vehicle exhaust and energy production and supply (power plants, refineries, shipping of primary energy carriers) - Human toxicity, summer smog.
You can find the CO2 calculation of a shipment directly by clicking on it or in the shipment list.
Note on contrails and other non-CO2 effects:
Our current CO2e calculations follow the GLEC Framework and the European standard EN 16258.
These standards do not yet account for the climate impact of contrails generated by aircraft or other non-CO2 effects, even though their contribution to global warming is recognized.
Wakeo will integrate these factors into our calculations once they are included in international standards.
This information is included in our FAQ to ensure transparency about the methodology used to calculate your shipment emissions.
