  Hello Dr Ram Vis.Is there any way can we find the fuel consumption for per ton of cargo and inturn finding the carbon emmissions per ton. I need to find a carbon footprint for a product and hence i need to find the transportation embodied energy in it. I know it is a open question as i am not a student from this discipline i am not able to give you more technical information. If you provide me a approximate calculation, that would be great.
  
  Thankyou
