Other regional bus transport

[edit / update model]
This category is deprecated. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodologies for bus transport can now be found at the following:

Bus generic other regions data is from the GHGP worksheet GHG emissions from transport or mobile sources v2.0. This category allows the user to calculate emissions from a non-UK or US bus journey depending on the fuel powering the bus. The user selects the drill-down fuelType from the following options.

  • diesel
  • gasoline
The distance is then set as a profile item value.

The algorithm returns the kg CO2 emitted from a journey of the given distance.

Biomass fuels

The GHG protocol requires CO2 emissions from biomass fuels to be reported on differently, due to the fact that the CO2 released from biomass fuels has only recently been sequestered from the atmosphere so does not constitute a net increase in CO2, unlike fossil fuel CO2 emissions. Therefore, the CO2 emissions for ethanol are not included here, but can be found in the biomass subcategory.
