Systems and Methods for Carbon Emission Calculation, Tracking and Analysis

摘要

A system and method for determining and reducing carbon emissions associated with the transportation of products around the world. An origin, a load, a discharge and a destination are entered on a computer interface. A processor determines carbon emissions for a plurality of routes from the origin to the destination using the origin, the load, the discharge, and the destination to determine and by considering one or more legs from the origin to the destination and by considering a plurality of modes of transportation for each of the legs. The processor determines which of the plurality of routes and which of the plurality of mode of transportations will generate the least carbon emission. A variety of parameters, including but not limited to, vehicle type, fuel time, arrival/departure times, can also be considered in determining carbon emissions. The route with the least carbon emissions can be graphically displayed. Additionally, other alternate routes can also be displayed.
