Service overview and features
The "NX-GREEN Calculator" is a service that calculates and visualizes CO2emissions from origin to destination for international air,ocean (includingriver barge),and rail transport when users simply enter the origin anddestination of a shipment,the quantity and weight of goods being shipped,andthe transport mode(s) involved.
Meticulous calculations of distances between airports,ports,and rail freightstations as well as between origins and destinations worldwide identified by city name or postal code allow for more precise estimates of CO2 emissions. Theservice also enables users to calculate emissions for each leg of a complextransport route by specifying transit points and total emissions for multipleshipments based on transport data for a given period. The calculator will beoffered in three languages (Japanese,English,and simplified Chinese) forglobal use. It can be accessed on NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS' website.
