What the 5 factor pages say

One chart per unit, since a kilogram and a kWh do not compare. Colour is the boundary, what the factor counts; every row also names it.

Per t.km · 4 factor pages

From 0.75 (Aircraft, EPA Hub) to 4.6 (Air Freight - Freight flights: Domestic, MfE) kgCO₂e per t.km. 2 boundaries appear here, so part of the spread is what each factor counts, not a disagreement between publishers.

Per CAD

OpenIO-Canada puts Air freight transportation services at 1.01 kgCO₂e/CAD (Cradle to gate, 2022), the only factor page in this unit.
