- LoadHow full the vehicle runs. JRC-IDEES does not say which load this factor assumes.
- Not stated
- Vehicle sizeThe vehicle's class, by weight or capacity. JRC-IDEES does not say which size this factor assumes.
- Not stated
- Distance bandFlights are priced by distance band, because take-off and climb burn a large share of a short flight's fuel. Road, rail and sea factors apply to a trip of any length.
- Any distance, not banded
- Cabin classA business seat takes more of the cabin than an economy one, so it carries more of the flight's emissions. First class on a long-haul flight counts four times economy.

Where 5.88 comes from
JRC-IDEES prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up.
Reporting this kilometre under the GHG Protocol
Scope 3, category 4 5.88
You pay a carrier to bring goods in, or to move them between your own sites. All of it goes in upstream transport.
The factor, standardised
Every factor on open-climate.ai answers the same questions in the same words, whatever the publisher. Open any ⓘ for the definition.

- BoundaryCombustionDirect emissions from burning the fuel at the point of use, in a boiler, furnace, engine or vehicle (for a vehicle, tank-to-wheel). Learn more
- Combustion
- Fuel combustion
- GWP methodWhich IPCC assessment report's warming potentials convert each gas to CO₂e, and over how many years the warming is counted (GWP100: 100 years). Learn more
- None: the value counts CO₂ alone
- CO₂ weighs 1 in every IPCC report, so no GWP applies
- CO₂e basisWhich carbon the CO₂e counts. Fossil only leaves out biogenic CO₂ and land use; net total counts every pool, net of removals. The same activity on two bases is two different numbers. Learn more
- Fossil only
- All of it is CO₂

24 values, one per year back to 2000. Every one is fossil only, so the years compare directly.

What this number covers
The path of one vehicle-kilometre, from the oil well to the end of the trip.
Vessel operation
Burning the fuel on board, spread over the average load
Included5.88Your trip
1 km driven. The factor is per vehicle-kilometre.
= 5.88
Outside this boundary
- Upstream fuel (well-to-tank)
- Building the vessel
- Ports and waterways
This factor counts the fuel the vehicle burns, not the vehicle itself or the infrastructure it runs on. Some libraries price building the vehicle as a factor of its own.
Gases in vessel operation
Basis: Fossil onlyFossil carbon only: biogenic CO₂, methane from biogenic sources and land-use change are left out. Learn more
- Fossil CO₂5.88
The CO₂e counts fossil carbon only; biogenic CO₂, biogenic methane and land-use carbon are left out.
