Carbon methodology & sources
Per-passenger carbon factors are adapted from the UK Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors for Company Reporting (DEFRA / DESNZ): coach ≈ 0.027, rail ≈ 0.041, shared electric car ≈ 0.045, short-haul flight ≈ 0.246, and long-haul flight ≈ 0.195 kg CO₂e per passenger-kilometre. Flight figures include a radiative-forcing uplift to account for non-CO₂ high-altitude effects.
Distances are great-circle (straight-line) estimates; real road, rail, and flight routings are longer, so actual emissions will typically be somewhat higher. Rail figures assume VIA Rail's diesel-hauled Ocean service, which is higher than electrified rail. Shared-EV figures assume three occupants and an average grid; Nova Scotia's grid is more carbon-intensive than many, which would raise the real figure.
These estimates are indicative only and intended to support route comparison, not formal carbon accounting. For official reporting, delegates should use an operator's own calculator or a tool such as the ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator.
