# Emission estimates
Estimate CO2 emissions (caused by shipping goods for example).
# Estimate electricity emissions
Estimate emissions produced by electricity consumption.
The value returned is in CO2e – it accounts for both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
POST /estimates/electricity# Estimate flight emissions
Estimate emissions produced by passengers in a commercial airflight.
The value returned is in CO2e – it accounts for both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
POST /estimates/flight# Estimate shipping emissions
Estimate emissions produced by shipping something from point A to point B.
The value returned is in CO2e – it accounts for both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
Some examples of the input payload:
Source/destination addresses, 10 tonnes transported by a diesel truck:
{ "shipment": { "mass": { "amount": "10.0", "unit": "t" } }, "route": { "source": { "street_line1": "Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 13", "country_code": "DEU", "city": "Berlin", "postcode": "10178" }, "destination": { "street_line1": "62 Great Russell St", "country_code": "GBR", "city": "London", "postcode": "WC1B 3BG" } }, "method": "diesel_truck" }1 tonne transported 2000 km by a small general cargo ship with Marine Gasoil (MGO) fuel used:
{ "shipment": { "mass": { "amount": "1.0", "unit": "t" } }, "route": { "amount": "2000.0", "unit": "km" }, "method": { "vessel_type": "sea_general_cargo_small", "fuel": "MGO" } }3 containers (TEUs) transported 5000 km by a refrigerated container ship over an Europe/South America trade lane:
{ "shipment": { "containers": "3.0" }, "route": { "amount": "5000.0", "unit": "km" }, "method": { "vessel_type": "container_ship", "refrigerated": true, "trade_lane": "disaggregated_europe_to_south_america" } }10 tonnes transported 4000 km by a vessel with IMO number 9745225:
{ "shipment": { "mass": { "amount": "10.0", "unit": "t" } }, "route": { "amount": "4000.0", "unit": "km" }, "method": { "vessel_imo_number": "9745225" } }

POST /estimates/shipping# Estimate shipping emissions for multi-leg journeys (a track and a plane, for example).
The value returned is in CO2e – it accounts for both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
POST /estimates/shipping/multi-leg# Estimate transaction-related emissions
Estimate emissions produced by purchasing goods or services.
value and merchant tell us what's the value of the transaction and who the goods or services
have been purchased from. value should exclude shipping and taxes – if it doesn't, then the
results are likely to be higher than they should be.
diet, if provided, will affect the estimates for purchases we determine are food-related.
The value returned is in CO2e – it accounts for both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
POST /estimates/transactions# Estimate company-wide emissions
Estimate emissions produced by a company. This includes office-related emissions, employee transportation, food, drinks, electronic equipment and computing/networking operations.
The result is an estimate of a year-worth of company emissions.
POST /estimates/company# Estimate individual annual emissions
Estimate emissions produced by an individual for a year. This includes travel emissions, food, drinks, energy and shopping activities.
The result is an estimate of a year-worth of emissions.
