13. Transport
Transport has a twofold impact on embodied energy. It is necessary to transport goods or provide services. The associated energy consumption is therefore directly linked to the embodied energy of the goods or service. The other level concerns the energy required to manufacture a transport vehicle. This energy is included in the grey energy of the means of transport.
13.1 Transportation's contribution to embodied energy
Transport is involved at several stages in the life cycle of an object or in the performance of a service activity. In energy terms, it is not so much the distance as the means of transport that determines energy consumption. Table 1 shows the typical energy consumption of different...
