Domestic air freight - with RF effect

Emission intensity of supply chain in GBP spend on: air transport services. Provided by BEIS/DEFRA in the official report on UK and England's carbon footprint to 2019. Retrieved from the UK full dataset 1990 - 2021 including conversion factors by SIC code (sheets: ghg_sic_mult and co2_sic_mult).

Emission intensity of supply chain in GBP spend on: air transport services. Provided by BEIS/DEFRA in the official report on UK and England's carbon footprint to 2020. Retrieved from the UK full dataset 1990 - 2021 including conversion factors by SIC code (sheets: ghg_sic_mult and co2_sic_mult).

Emission intensity of supply chain in GBP spend on: air transport services. Provided by BEIS/DEFRA in the official report on UK and England's carbon footprint to 2021.

Emission intensity of supply chain (purchase of service/standard good/capital good) in US dollars spend on: air transport. Factors retrieved from the Quantis+GHG Protocol Scope 3 Calculator for the year 2016 and apply for years beyond 2016. The same emission factor applies to different types of investments in joint ventures/subsidiaries/associate companies that were not captured in Scope 1 emissions. NOTE: It is unknown if the radiative forcing (RF) effect that reflects the impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs is included.

Air freight/Air transport - RF effect unknown

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: air transport/freight. This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model v1.0.1. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.1.1 NOTE: It is unknown if the radiative forcing (RF) effect that reflects the impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs is included.

Air freight - RF effect unknown

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: air transport/freight. This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. NOTE: It is unknown if the radiative forcing (RF) effect that reflects the impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs is included.

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: scheduled freight air transportation. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.2.

Scheduled freight air transportation

Emission intensity of freighting goods by aircraft. Retrieved from the EPA's GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx). NOTE: It is unknown if the radiative forcing (RF) effect that reflects the impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs is included.

Aircraft (freight - RF effect unknown)

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: scheduled freight air transportation. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.3.

Emission intensity of freighting goods by aircraft. Retrieved from the 2024 GHG Emission Factors Hub (xlsx) file published by the US EPA at the source URL. NOTE: It is unknown if the radiative forcing (RF) effect that reflects the impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs is included.

Emission intensity of aircraft. The primary source is EPA Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories - Table 8 Business Travel and Employee Commuting - March 9 2018. NOTE: It is unknown if the radiative forcing (RF) effect that reflects the impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs is included. NOTE: GHG protocol reports as source table Table 8 but the emission factors for CO2 CH4 and N2O are actually reported in Table 9 Upstream Transportation and Distribution and Downstream Transportation and Distribution. NOTE: This dataset has been deprecated by the source.
