Use Cases
Transport Type Selector
Populate a selector in your UI with available types:Emissions Comparator
Compare emission factors between different modes:Impact Calculator
Calculate the impact of switching transport modes:Data Validation
Validate that a TOC exists before calculating:Filtering by Category
While the endpoint doesn’t support filters directly, you can filter in your code:Emission Factors
Emission factors are based on:- GLEC Framework - Global Logistics Emissions Council
- EN 16258 - European standard for transport emissions
- DEFRA - UK Government conversion factors
- EPA - US Environmental Protection Agency
Emission factors are updated annually to reflect the latest methodologies and available data.
