CSX enhances carbon calculator
With its improved calculator, the US call I railway CSX is aiming to help forwarders to achieve their supply chain sustainability objectives.
The new version is available to customers who use the Ship CSX online platform. The tool enables carload freight shippers to generate carbon savings analyses based on their historical shipment data. They can view year-to-date totals and year-to-year trends and apply variables that provide additional insight for weighing carbon emission impacts when making supply chain decisions.
The calculator draws on government and third-party studies of greenhouse gas emission factors of different transportation modes to calculate how much emissions are reduced when shipping by rail versus truck, CSX said. (ben)
