Carbon Footprint from Different Modes of Transportation

While reading Maersk’s previous presentations from the Stanford Supply Chain Conference 2008, I found several useful pages about carbon footprint from different modes of transportation.

I was curious about each shipping lines’ container carbon emission, but I found only 3 shipping lines provide CO2 emission calculations based on their shipping routes.

We hope more shipping lines will post their emission calculations on the web so shippers can get a clearer picture of their carbon footprint from factories to points of sale.
