Logistics Site: GLEC

πŸ’‘ High-Level Description:

The Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) serves as a pioneering organization when it comes to framing standardized approaches for calculating greenhouse gas emissions in logistics. Their emphasis is particularly evident in the area of logistics sitesβ€”those central hubs where goods are stored, managed, and dispatched. Given the high energy consumption and associated emissions of these sites, accurate calculation becomes paramount. GLEC's methodology presents an integrated approach to logistics emissions accounting. It captures a holistic view, encompassing all activities within a logistics siteβ€”from storage cooling systems to material handling equipment.

By offering a consistent, globally recognized standard, GLEC enables logistics sites worldwide to measure, manage, and reduce their carbon footprint. Their framework ensures a level playing field, fostering a more sustainable and competitive global logistics industry. The integration of direct and indirect emissions sources within the framework also ensures a comprehensive understanding of a logistics site's total environmental impact, enabling effective mitigation strategies.

}

API Request Items

  • "type": "logistics_site" (required)

  • "methodology": "GLEC" (required)

  • "external_reference": A unique identifier that helps you link the resulting emissions to the requested item. Especially useful if multiple items are requested since SQUAKE cannot guarantee to keep the same order. The maximum length is 128 characters.

  • "weight_in_tonnes": Numeric value.

  • "logistics_site_type": Values are transhipment_site, storage_and_transhipment, warehouse, maritime_container_terminal, or liquid_bulk_terminal. Default value is warehouse.

  • "condition_type": temperature_controlled is only relevant for logistics site type maritime_container_terminal. Values are ambient, mixed, or temperature_controlled. Default value is mixed.

Default values

  • "logistics_site_type": "storage_and_transhipment"

  • "condition_type": "mixed"
