How to Calculate Shipping Emissions

Shipping emissions depend on weight, distance, and transport mode.

Mode Factors (lbs CO2 per ton-mile)

  • Truck: ~0.37
  • Rail: ~0.05
  • Ocean Ship: ~0.01
  • Air freight: ~2.2

    • Formula

    CO2 = (Weight / 2000) * Distance * Mode Factor

    Exemple Résolu

    Ship a 10-lb package 1,000 miles by truck.

    1. Weight in tons: 10 / 2000 = 0.005 tons
    2. CO2: 0.005 * 1000 * 0.37 = 1.85 lbs
    3. In kg: 1.85 / 2.205 = 0.84 kg CO2
