KEY BENEFITS OF LEVERAGING GEOPOSTCODES DATA
- Calculate accurate mileage for outbound and inbound shipments
- Generate reliable CO2 calculations based on postal codes
- Provide reliable estimations for all modes of transport
- Strengthen their reputation in the CO2 reporting industry
Enabling emission calculations for all modes of transport at a global scale
OVERVIEW
CarbonCare is one of the newest and most comprehensive CO2 emission calculators for all modes of transportation worldwide. Their calculations are based on more than 100 million measured and realistic values culminating in solid algorithms. Their service enables pollutant calculation, compensation, and the creation of annual emissions balances, as well as their data storage.
The calculator considers all modes of transport comprehensively and globally, as well as the handling of goods in terminals, warehouses, and cold chains, to optimize and improve the entire transport chain.
We talked to Dr. Peter Wild, Managing Partner at CarbonCare, to understand how GeoPostcodes helps optimize their CO2 calculations.
CHALLENGE
What was CarbonCare’s primary challenge in CO2 emissions calculation using GeoPostcodes’ data?
PETER: CarbonCare faced issues with unreliable postal codes from our previous data provider, especially in countries like Turkey, Thailand, and Pakistan. This lack of precise location data made CO2 calculations less accurate, impacting our ability to deliver consistent emissions data.
SOLUTION
How does GeoPostcodes address CarbonCare’s need for accurate distance calculation?
PETER: GeoPostcodes’ postal database, enhanced with high-resolution latitude and longitude geolocation, provides us with precise location data. This level of accuracy is essential for calculating mileage and CO2 emissions accurately, especially for road and truck transport.
Why are UNLOCODEs, IATA, and postal codes important for CarbonCare’s emissions calculator?
PETER: They are essential for SEA, AIR, and FERRY calculations. In this context, GPC provides complete sets, which means IATA, codes, UNLOCODEs, addresses, and so on – and that on a global scale!
How has GeoPostcodes improved data reliability for CarbonCare?
PETER: GeoPostcodes’ regular data updates ensure that CarbonCare has access to the most current postal and geolocation information. They provide information for the whole world, making it perfect to keep as a single source of truth. This is vital for keeping our emissions data accurate and supporting CarbonCare’s mission of reliable climate reporting.
CONCLUSION
GeoPostcodes’ Postal Database has empowered CarbonCare to significantly enhance the accuracy of their CO2 calculations.
With the integration of UNLOCODEs for sea transport and IATA codes for air, CarbonCare can now deliver precise emissions estimates for all transportation modes on a global scale.
This comprehensive data solution has strengthened CarbonCare’s reputation in the CO2 reporting industry, positioning them as a trusted source for emissions calculation and climate action.
