Air freight outside UK - without RF effect
0.5387kgCO2e/tonne-km
Emission factor summary
Emission intensity of international freight flight (to/from non-UK countries) excluding emissions from combustion and radiative forcing (RF) effect reflecting impact of contrails and high-altitude release of GHGs but not upstream fuel emissions. 8% distance uplift applied for indirect nature of flights.
