Why should I take this course?

This interactive microlearning helps you build practical knowledge needed to apply GHG emission factors consistently and transparently across transport and logistics activities.
Every transport or logistics operation uses energy, usually fuel or electricity, which generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
GHG emission factors convert fuel or energy consumption into a corresponding GHG emissions value. Knowing how to select and apply the correct factor is essential for accurate calculations.

In this microlearning, you will learn how to select the correct GHG emission factor for a particular fuel and its production pathway and apply it to consumption data to calculate GHG emissions. Through practical freight and passenger transport examples, you will also explore how emissions data can support decision-making and which common mistakes to avoid.

Whether you work in transport, sustainability, policy, or simply want to make informed travel decisions, this course will help you understand, apply and interpret emission factors clearly and consistently.
