Private light truck (diesel)

Taiwan · Cradle to grave · Any year

Each tonne of goods carried one kilometre counts as 0.693 kg CO₂e. MOENV coefficients gives one figure, for use in any year.

Where 0.693 comes from

Published as one number

MOENV coefficients prints this factor as a single figure, with no parts to add up and no split by gas.

Reporting this tonne-kilometre under the GHG Protocol

Scope 3, category 4 0.693

You pay a carrier to bring goods in, or to move them between your own sites. All of it goes in upstream transport.

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.

0.693

12 t over 300 km is 3,600 t.km, so 2,495 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.

  1. Fuel production

    Extracting, refining and delivering the fuel

    Included
  2. Vehicle operation

    Burning the fuel on the road, spread over the average load

    Included
  3. Effect at altitude

    Contrails and other warming from burning fuel high up. Flights only.

    Not applicable on the road
  4. Your shipment

    1 tonne moved 1 km. The factor is per tonne-kilometre.

    = 0.693

Outside this boundary

  • Building the vehicle
  • Employee commuting

Vehicles and infrastructure sit outside every well-to-use factor. Some libraries price building the vehicle as a factor of its own.
