What’s it about?
Everyone who sends a package with Jetpak will
get a carbon dioxide (CO2) declaration. The
declaration is included in the price. The figure
shows total CO2 emission for a door-door tran-
sport and can in other words consist of the sum
of several steps in a transport chain (for
example: car->airplane->car). In a few cases
however, a CO2 declaration is not possible to
present, this because some information is
missing, making a calculation impossible to
perform.



How do we calculate the carbon
dioxide declaration?
The basic formula is:
Emission (expressed in kg CO2)=distance x
fuel consumption x loadfactor


Load factor is the single most difficult part to
define, this because it varies from day to day
and can’t be decided until after the working
day is ended. The reason is that we don’t
know until the day after how many packages
were carried by the vehicle or how far the
actual driven distance was. This is why the
customer first gets a preliminary CO2
emission figure. The figure is later updated
with a definitive figure the day after – when
the load factor has been defined. Note; the
load factor is unique for every day and for
every vehicle. As a consequence, two similar
shipments sent on two different days will
most certainly have different CO2 emissions.

Jetpak uses a mix of different modes of
transportation based on:
• the customers demand of speed (delivery
time)
• the range of transportation methods
available (airplane/truck departures)
• the characteristics of the package (weight/
size/content)

The same basic formula for CO2 emission
calculation is used regardless if sent by car/
van, truck or by plane. When Jetpak uses the
car/van option, return trip is included in the emission.

Why show the carbon dioxide
emission?
The reason why Jetpak wants to show the CO2
emission figure is several:

• To simplify for our customers to obtain know-
ledge about how much emissions their shipment
has caused. The figure can be used internally for
their climate accounting or follow up on key
performance indicators (KPI’s).
• So that we ourselves (Jetpak) can start
measuring our CO2 emissions and be able to put
a target on our emission reductions.

Carbon dioxide emissions from
different transport alternatives
Below is a few examples of how the emissions
vary due to which mode of transportation is
used, if the weight is changed or if you include
the return trip.
