Create statistical report on CO2 emissions in grams

To find out the estimated climate impact of your transport in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, you can use the statistical report CO2 emissions.

Note:

For Opter to calculate the climate impact, you must first make the settings described in Climate impact of CO2 emissions in grams, pricing weight, then you can produce statistics on CO2 emissions as often as you want according to the instructions below.

The exact climate impact of an individual transport operation depends on the actual consumption and specific fuel, what other goods were being transported at the same time, how much of the transport operation the vehicle had to be driven when empty, etc. It is difficult to obtain precise values for this data, so standard values are used for the fuel consumption and the CO2 emission factor. The standard values are selected so that the climate impact data is reliable on average over time.

Note:

The statistical report is based on templates. To ensure it is as accurate as possible, you need to find out your actual emissions, for example by adding up all the refuelling that has taken place over a period of time. Then try out different factors on services until the sum in the statistics matches the reality and the allocation between different shipments is reasonable.

You can create a statistical report showing the estimated CO2 emissions caused by transport in a given period. You can choose to create the report per:

You can then click on a vehicle, customer, service or your company name (office name) in the statistics report to see the CO2 emissions per order.

The statistical report shows the following two columns for CO2 emissions:

Conditions

To obtain a complete statistical report, first follow the instructions in Climate impact of CO2 emissions in grams, pricing weight.

Create a report on CO2 emissions

  1. Click on Analysis > Statistics. Open CO2 emissions by clicking on .

  2. Choose whether you want to view statistics per vehicle, per customer, per service or overall for the office.

  3. Select Period at the top right of the window.

    The date range is based on the order date of the order of which the orders are part. Sometimes jobs are run the day after the order date, but the order date is the most useful if you want to compare with other statistics.

  4. Click on Ok to create the statistical report.

The statistical report also includes the basic data on which it is based. If you want to work further with the data, you can export it to an Excel file by clicking on .
