Recalculate CO2 emissions for orders

Last updated: 1 June 2026

This is how Opter calculates CO2 emissions describes the data on which the CO₂ calculations are based. If one or more of these details is changed, there may then be one or more orders for which the CO2 emissions need to be recalculated.

For example, if one or more of these details is changed:

• CO2 emissions (g/km), Fuel and/or Fuel consumption (per 100 km) for a vehicle, vehicle type, price vehicle type and/or subcontractor.

• Capacity converted into pricing weight (kg) for a vehicle, vehicle type, price vehicle type and/or subcontractor.

• Emission factor for a service or for a price vehicle type under a service.

Further information on CO2 emissions can be found in CO2 emissions, overview.

Conditions

• In order for Opter to calculate CO2 emissions, you must first configure the settings described in Settings for CO2 emission calculations.

• You can recalculate the CO2 emissions for orders that have not yet been invoiced.

Recalculate CO2 emissions

To recalculate CO2 emissions, do as follows:

• For one or more orders.

  The CO2 emissions of one or more orders can be recalculated in order check.

  Follow the instructions in Order check and tick the box CO2 emissions in the window Recalculate.

  This means that both the estimated and the calculated CO2 emissions will be recalculated for the orders that have been selected in order check.

• For one order.

  You can recalculate the CO2 emissions for an order in order reception.

  The CO2 emissions for the order are recalculated if any of the values affecting the calculation, such as the distance, change. For example, you can press the F3 key twice to switch the sender and receiver of the order ("back and forth"), so that the distance on the order is recalculated. Both the estimated and the calculated CO2 emissions for the order are then recalculated.
