Calculation input

Visibility Hub calculates CO₂ footprint automatically for every transport to provide carbon visibility to shippers and carriers and to help them to report and eventually reduce emissions.

What and where you can see

The number that is displayed in the Visibility Hub transport details view near the leaf icon shows the estimate of CO₂ equivalent for the given transport. This is a Well-to-Wheel estimate, calculated according to the GLEC framework and taking best available data into account. See the definitions and calculation details here.

For additional emission data, detailed dashboards and analytics go to Transporeon Carbon Visibility product.

External source

When a CO₂ footprint displays the External source badge, Visibility Hub is receiving the data directly from a third-party system rather than calculating it internally.

These systems can include:

  • Other visibility providers or aggregators

  • In-house systems of carriers or shippers

  • Transportation and logistics platforms
