Van: EEA πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

πŸ’‘ High-Level Description

The European Environment Agency (EEA) plays a pivotal role in guiding European nations toward sustainable futures. Concerning carbon calculations for the van sector, the EEA's methodology is underpinned by a rigorous system that focuses on emissions from vehicle operations, taking into account fuel type, engine efficiency, and the age of the vehicle. Their approach is comprehensive, considering both direct emissions from combustion and indirect emissions associated with the production and distribution of fuel.

This methodology is crucial for member states, ensuring they maintain a consistent approach when reporting their emissions to meet European Union climate objectives. By providing a standardized metric system, the EEA not only offers a harmonized view of the van sector's carbon footprint but also facilitates informed decision-making for policy adjustments and green transition strategies.

Sample API Request

{
  "expand": [
    "items"
  ],
  "items": [
    {
      "type": "van",
      "external_reference": "test_1",
      "origin": "LON",
      "destination": "MIL",
      "manufacturer": "citroen",
      "model": "berlingo_4x4",
      "fuel_type": "diesel",
      "engine_size_in_cubic_cm": 1560,
      "methodology": "EU-EEA"
    }
  ]
}

API Request Items

  • "type": "van" (required)

  • "methodology": "EU-EEA" (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.

  • "origin": SQUAKE will try to resolve the origin/destination regardless of its format. Ideally, for addresses use the Post standard, for airports use IATA/ICAO code (format: ^[A-Z]{3,4}$, e.g., "MUC"), for other locations used in trade and transportation use UN/LOCODE codes (format: ^[A-Z]{2}\W?[A-Z2-9]{3}$, e.g., "DEHAM"). You can also pass lat/long (format: ^[-+]?\d{1,3}\.\d{1,10}\s?,\s?[-+]?\d{1,3}\.\d{1,10}$, e.g., "+40.712,-74.006").

  • "destination": SQUAKE will try to resolve the origin/destination regardless of its format. Ideally, for addresses use the Post standard, for airports use IATA/ICAO code (format: ^[A-Z]{3,4}$, e.g., "MUC"), for other locations used in trade and transportation use UN/LOCODE codes (format: ^[A-Z]{2}\W?[A-Z2-9]{3}$, e.g., "DEHAM"). You can also pass lat/long (format: ^[-+]?\d{1,3}\.\d{1,10}\s?,\s?[-+]?\d{1,3}\.\d{1,10}$, e.g., "+40.712,-74.006").

  • "distance_in_km": Prioritized over origin and destination. If you don't have a distance_in_km, you can use origin and destination and the distance will be automatically resolved. If you pass both distance_in_km and origin/destination, then distance_in_km will be used.
