How to Calculate CO₂ Emission
Formula for CO₂ Emisson calculation,
CO₂ Emissions(kg) = Distance(km) x Emission Factor(kg CO₂/ton-km) x Weight(tons)

For multiple items, calculate the CO₂ emissions for each item separately and sum them up to get the total emissions.
For shipments with the same transport mode and distance, simply multiply the emissions calculated by the quantity of shipments.
If the cargo requires refrigeration or special handling, additional energy consumption should be considered in the calculation to get an accurate emission estimate.
