How to add transport to a process (as input)

Question

In some of the processes, transportation has already been included. When I entered my own transportation, it only showed up in km and not kg*km. How do I do that? This was the largest contributor to emissions, so I want to get it right. I have calculated both the total amount of kg to be transported and found the total number of km. I am just unsure what is the correct way to enter this in my Input section. I will calculate emissions for a dinner.

Answer 1

You have a funny formatting in your text but I leave it as is - transport modeling depends on the database you use, in most databases (like ecoinvent) there is transport as the transport vehicle, which is measured in km, and then the transport service provided by the vehicle, measured in person*km or t*km (for cargo). You will want to include the latter (and you will see that a transport service process typically includes the transport vehicle, in km, i.e. has this as input). Good luck!
