| Summaries |
GHG emission reduction measures : Modal shift from truck (reference route) to cargo ship (project route) leads to reduction of fossil fuel consumption per transportation of a unit of freight. Calculation of reference emissions : Reference emissions are calculated from total mass of project freight transported through the project land route, one-way land transportation distance of the reference route, a CO2 emission factor. Calculation of project emissions : Project emissions include the emissions resulting from land transportation by trucks, and water transportation by cargo ships. (1) Land transportation: Project emissions from land transportation are calculated from total mass of project freight transported through the project land route, one-way land transportation distance of the project route and a CO2 emission factor; (2) Water transportation: Project emissions from water transportation consist of fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships and electricity consumption by reefer containers. (a) Fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships: Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships are calculated by using one of the following options, in order of preference: Option.1 Energy-based approach: Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships are calculated from fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships through the project water transportation activity, total mass of project freight transported through the project water transportation activity, total mass of all freight transported through the project water transportation activity, net calorific value and a CO2 emission factor; Option. 2 Activity-based approach: Project emissions from fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships are calculated from total mass of project freight transported through the project water transportation activity, one-way water transportation distance of the project activity, and a CO2 emission factor; (b) Electricity consumption by reefer containers: Project emissions from electricity consumption by reefer containers are calculated from total electricity consumption by project reefer containers transported through the project water transportation activity and a CO2 emission factor, if applicable. Project emissions from fuel/electricity consumption by gantry cranes to load the freight on a cargo ship and unload the freight from a cargo ship are excluded from project emissions since the ratio of project emissions from gantry cranes to the total project emissions are considered to be very small. Monitoring parameters : One-way land transportation distance of the reference route; One-way land transportation distance of the project route; One-way water transportation distance of the project activity; Total mass of project freight transported through the project land route; Fossil fuel consumption by cargo ships through the project water transportation activity; Total mass of project freight transported through the project water transportation activity; Total mass of all freight transported through the project water transportation activity; Total electricity consumption by project reefer containers transported through the project water transportation activity |
