Air Pollutant Emissions Report - Methodology for the logistics sector

Air pollutants comprise a range of chemical compounds that negatively impact the environment and climate. In the transport sector, these emissions primarily result from fuel combustion and contribute to short-term warming, acid deposition, and reduced agricultural productivity. Addressing them presents a key opportunity for the logistics industry to advance decarbonisation, as pollutant and GHG sources often overlap. Smart Freight Centre, in collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), is updating and expanding its 2017 Black Carbon Methodology to include additional pollutants such as NOx, SOx, and particulate matter, providing comprehensive guidance for all freight transport modes.
