Prerequisites for CO₂e calculations in EmissionsReport

This document, including the content elements it contains (hereafter “The Calculations”), is provided by the Uniteam Group (hereafter “The Company”) solely for the use of the user (hereafter “The User”). The content in the “EmissionsReport,” generated by the Company, may not be modified or compromised without prior written approval from the Company. However, the user is permitted to copy, distribute, transmit, publish, and resell the data without the need for prior consent from the Company.

To compile these carbon footprint calculations, it has been necessary to make delineations and assumptions that form the basis for the results, and thus influence the final calculated CO₂e emissions. The result of the “EmissionsReport” is the total CO₂e emission for a transported quantity, based on the activities that the User enters into the Company’s software.

The delineations and assumptions made are elaborated below. The purpose of the “EmissionsReport” is to visualize and aggregate CO₂e emissions in relation to choices of route, distance, and type of transport. The results cannot necessarily be compared with other CO₂e calculation methods and should only be compared with data generated in the Company’s software. The Company has taken reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the Data. However, the Company offers no guarantees, either expressed or implied, regarding the Data’s accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability for specific purposes. The User is encouraged to perform their own due diligence before making decisions based on the Data.

Data basis

Used environmental data is obtained from international transport and distribution-related databases and calculation methods, GLEC Framework V3. GLEC Framework v3 classifies logistics emissions into three areas, based on the accounting principles set out by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 1 includes direct emissions from assets owned or controlled by the reporting company, scope 2 encompasses indirect emissions from the production and distribution of electricity, heat, and steam purchased by the reporting company, and specifically in version v3, scope 3 which includes indirect emissions from the reporting company’s supply chain, such as transport emissions and product use. GLEC Framework v3 is in compliance with ISO 14083 and divides the total greenhouse gas emissions into emissions related to the energy consumption for the operation of transport or hub activities and emissions related to the provision of this energy. While emissions from transport operations – hub and transport activity – make up the tank-towheel (TTW) emissions (also referred to as “tank-to-vehicle” where relevant), the energy delivery emissions for energy used for transport activity or hub operations constitute the well-to-tank (WTT) emissions.

The Company’s estimates include, in the current software version, the full fuel lifecycle, which consists of well-to-tank (WTT), emissions from extraction, production, and delivery of energy, as well as tank-to-wheel (TTW), emissions caused by moving the vehicle. These values are generated by Searoutes’ API approach to CO₂e calculations, which are provided either as modeled or default data. The type of data is always verifiable through the indicator in the last column of the EmissionsReport. See calculations methodology https://developer.searoutes.com/docs

Furthermore, the data originating from external sources or third parties is included, and the Company is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of such data. Users should exercise caution and not base decisions solely on third-party data without independent verification and control.
