A wide range of methodologies and tools are available for calculation of the carbon footprint of freight transport, based on varying emissions data, routing and allocation assumptions and conflicts between actual and assumed vehicle loading performance. The European EN 16258 standard provides the most comprehensive framework to date for a global emission calculation standard applicable to the carbon footprinting of freight transport. Stakeholders have quickly become aware of EN 16258 and are keen to understand its requirements and the implications for the way that they currently approach their carbon footprint calculations. The COFRET case studies have been chosen to cover a broad selection of shippers and carriers across various modes and different locations. The need for comparability of calculation of emissions along supply chains is acknowledged by the transport industry, its related organizations as well as by governmental bodies and researchers.
