Per tonne, per vehicle or per passenger

One trip, three ways to count it. Pick the unit you have a number for.

Per tonne-kilometret.km · this page

One tonne of goods carried one kilometre. Use it when you know what the shipment weighs.

0.0819

12 t over 300 km is 3,600 t.km, so 295 kg CO₂e

Per passenger-kilometrep.km

One person carried one kilometre, on a bus, a train or a flight. It never applies to goods.

Not for goods

What this number covers

The path of one tonne-kilometre, from the oil well to the delivered load.

Vehicle operation
Burning the fuel in flight, spread over the average load
Included0.0819
Your shipment
1 tonne moved 1 km. The factor is per tonne-kilometre.
= 0.0819

Outside this boundary

Upstream fuel (well-to-tank)
Building the aircraft
Airports

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 vehicle operation

Basis: Fossil only

Fossil CO₂0.0819

The CO₂e counts fossil carbon only; biogenic CO₂, biogenic methane and land-use carbon are left out.
