Abstract
This paper outlines general methods, calculation models and some available software for the calculation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in logistics activities. General calculation formulas are presented mostly for transportation by truck, but by train as well. Listed are CO2 emission factors (EFs) for the different types of fuels and partially average numbers for the various transport carriers. The relevance of the calculation of CO2 emissions in the logistics sector is described to show the growing importance of sustainability in the world of logistics.
