What this number covers

The path of one passenger-kilometre, from the oil well to the end of the trip.

  1. Vehicle operation

    Burning the fuel in flight, spread over the average load

    Included0.0836
  2. Your trip

    1 passenger carried 1 km. The factor is per passenger-kilometre.

    = 0.0836

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 CO₂0.0836

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