Abstract
A true global CO₂ emissions standard is still not available. EN16258 is currently the most internationally accepted standard for transport and logistics. Moreover, most emission standards have been developed by associations for a single mode of transport or for specific regions (e.g., North America). This research suggests recommendations for a global standard for all modes of transport based on EN16258 for freight/logistics transportation. First, the most relevant standards and methods are addressed and explained. Based on ISO IWA 16, they are then compared and combined into a single overview. A case study of the introduction of CarbonCare (emission calculator) and its global transport customers were taken into account to incorporate practical guidelines for a blueprint. Finally, the blueprint is discussed with experts from all modes of transport, culminating in recommendations not only for transport operation but also for harmonizing warehousing, cooling and transshipment - incorporating simplicity, accuracy, flexibility and feasibility.
