impact on the costs and emissions. According to the high amount of transported goods in the case study, it is considered in the next calculation that all trucks are fully loaded. The total CO 2 emissions of the chosen system boundaries are given in Figure 6.12 for the distance of 200 km.

emission for the 200 km distance

The train has the lowest total CO 2

emission of the transport chain. For truck transport,

the dominant CO 2 emission is the transport itself. For the slowest transport mode of the ship, the size of the distribution centre/warehouse matters. Increasing the distance between the two locations benefits the transport by ship because of its low emission during transport. Keeping the size of the stock area, the results are shown in Figure 6.13.
