When to use

This set of factors should be used by companies in the logistics industry to measure emissions. The set also includes emission factors relating to logistics hubs.

Limitations

Only for the transport and logistics sector. For carbon accounting outside the transport sector, public databases managed by government bodies are commonly used (e.g. EPA, BEIS/DEFRA, Base Empreinte).
