Emission factor summary
Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of freight. EC and WC refer to the East Coast and West Coast respectively. Retrieved from the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting. (2019). This factor is based on planned distances and a -15% distance adjustment should be applied if actual distances are used. This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.
