LEARN Post-Project Exploitation Plan. Deliverable D6.6

The LEARN Post-Project Exploitation Plan details how LEARN products / outputs will continue to be exploited beyond the project. The plan’s overall objective is to maximize the uptake by industry of carbon accounting and reduction. The plan’s starting point is the call to action to 4 stakeholder groups (business, government, research and all...

Interim Testing Results. Deliverable 4.4

This project deliverable, LEARN D4.4 Testing Results, reports on the work carried out in LEARN WP4 on Testing and Validation. LEARN WP4 has tested, validated and evaluated the practical applicability of the agreed framework for harmonized greenhouse gas (GHG) emission calculation (GLEC Framework v1.0) and the eco-label concept in complex...

Harmonizing carbon footprint calculation for freight transport chains

The European Commission has set as a target a reduction of 60% in transport greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 [EC 11]. This includes freight transport emissions, which present a particular challenge due to the forecast increase in goods transport linked to future economic growth, the current trend of lengthening supply chains and the global...

Global standardization of the calculation of CO2 emissions along transport chains-gaps, approaches, perspectives of the global alignment process

The transport industry, consumers, shippers and political bodies are all pressing for a global standard for the calculation of emissions along supply chains. Comparability of the chains’ efficiency, reduction of energy consumption, transparency of the carbon footprint of products and identification of best practice are at the core of the need...

Towards a global CO2 calculation standard for supply chains: Suggestions for methodological improvements

Improving the efficiency and sustainability of supply chains is a shared aim of the transport industry, its customers, governments as well as industry organisations. To optimize supply chains and for the identification of best practice, standards for their analysis are needed in order to achieve comparable evaluations. This need for an...

Calculating emissions along supply chains - Towards the global methodological harmonisation

In order to keep climate change on amanageable level, countries across the globe are expected to control and reduce their total greenhouse gas emissions. A major contributor to these emissions is the growing transport sector, especially professional freight transport. Several initiatives and organisations have come forward with possible methods,...
