CO2 Logistic is a collaboration between a private company and research center to develop a framework for calculating carbon footprints in the logistics sector. The goals are to create a tool to calculate footprints, support knowledge sharing to encourage emissions reductions, and help comply with climate change objectives. The methodology involves analyzing databases and standards, defining calculation processes, identifying emission sources, and developing software. A real case study validated the methodology by calculating the carbon footprint of an organization and its activities like storage and distribution. The study provided useful insights and validated the tool's ability to detect emission sources and support carbon footprint reporting.

11. Haga clic para modificar el estilo de título del patrónCO2 LOGISTIC – PROPOSED METHODOLOGY –DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOFTWARE
KEY POINTS I
• Methodology as a "conceptual base" for the development of the software.
• Intended to systematise and simplify, as much as possible, the calculation
procedures which will finally generate a report with the results and characteristics
of the calculated footprint.
• Fulfils not only the project's main objective (the calculation of the carbon footprint
of companies in the logistics sector) but also other objectives which emerged as
very useful for the end user: process maps identifying the consumption, waste and
by-products related to each process.
• Carbon footprint of the organisation - carbon footprint of the product.
• Use of free software.
• Distributed use permitting several users from the same company.
• Development based on a web environment

12. Haga clic para modificar el estilo de título del patrónCO2 LOGISTIC – PROPOSED METHODOLOGY –DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOFTWARE
KEY POINTS II
• Based on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 for organisations/PAS 2050 for products
• Types of users
 Logistics centre
 Company which operates in a logistic centre
• Creation of a project or expansion
 Definition of the type of footprint
 Focus and scope of organisation
• Definition of processes - Identification of sources – identification of operational
scope

EXCLUSION FACTORS
 Lack of relevant and trustworthy
data
 Non-existence of suitable emission
factors
 Emission sources whose %
regarding the emissions total is less
than 1%
Haulage and distribution routes
(99.96%)
Other sources (<1%): possibility of
exclusion
Cost (resources and time) vs.
Efficiency

19. Haga clic para modificar el estilo de título del patrónCO2 LOGISTIC – CONCLUSIONS
 Adjustment of the tool to the user's expectations
 Detection of emission sources beyond those which are usually preliminarily
detected in previous internal calculations
 Great interest in the possibility provided for the calculation of a product's carbon
footprint
 Validation of the database – knowledge base
 Possibility of integration – feedback of the tool
 Recognition of the carbon footprint as an extremely useful environmental
indicator
