Service overview and features
The "NX-GREEN Calculator" is a service that calculates and visualizes CO2 emissions from origin to destination for international air, ocean (including river barge), truck, and rail transport when users simply enter the origin and destination of a shipment, the quantity and weight of goods being shipped, and the transport mode(s) involved.
 
Meticulous calculations of distances between airports, ports, and rail freight stations as well as between origins and destinations worldwide identified by city name or postal code allow for more precise estimates of CO2 emissions. The service also enables users to calculate emissions for each leg of a complex transport route by specifying transit points and total emissions for multiple shipments based on transport data for a given period. The calculator will be offered in three languages (Japanese, English, and simplified Chinese) for global use. It can be accessed on NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS' website.
