The carbon intensity of different travel modes varies dramatically – meaning business travel choices can have a major impact on an organisational carbon footprint.
This short Ecometrica fact sheet outlines the carbon intensity of the most popular modes of transport in the UK, using the new 2011 Defra emission factors – with some results that you might not expect!
An economy class one‐way ticket from London to Kuala Lumpur will emit approximately one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
