Analysing thousands of journeys
Kilograms CO2e
This map shows the final destination of flights for this report - either for the whole University or an individual school or department.
For multi-part journeys, we only mark the location furthest away from Edinburgh on the map. That helps us to see where we are travelling, rather than the airports where lots of people change planes.
This report shows the destinations that were responsible for the most carbon emissions across all modes of travel. This report doesn't account for multi-part journeys, so some destinations such as Amsterdam or Doha appear unusually popular as they are entered separately by our travel agent.
| Destination | Carbon emissions | Cost | Distance travelled | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {{ destination.destination }} | {{ Math.round(Number(destination.total_kg_co2e)).toLocaleString() }} kg CO2e | £{{ Number(destination.total_cost).toLocaleString() }} | {{ Number(destination.total_distance_km_processed).toLocaleString() }} km | {{ Math.round(Number(destination.total)).toLocaleString() }} journeys |
The majority of all flights at the University of Edinburgh, excluding connecting flights, are to London. The train to London takes slightly longer than flying, but is on average one-third less expensive and six times less polluting.
This report shows the number of journeys to London by air and rail, and compares their environmental impact and average cost.
| Mode of transport | Carbon emissions | Average cost | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{ mode.mode_of_transport }} | {{ Math.round(Number(mode.total_kg_co2e)).toLocaleString() }} kg CO2e | £{{ Math.round(Number((mode.total_cost/mode.total))).toLocaleString() }} | {{ Math.round(Number(mode.total)).toLocaleString() }} journeys |
{{ Math.round(Number(london_comparison.possible_carbon_saving)).toLocaleString() }} kg less CO2e would have been emitted*
...and about £{{ Number(london_comparison.possible_saving).toLocaleString() }} saved*
* Assuming average values would have been true for all journeys.
This report shows our data broken down by supplier and mode of transport. This information is used directly to calculate our annual report to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
| Provider | Mode | Carbon emissions | Cost | Distance travelled | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| {{ provider.provider }} | {{ provider.mode_of_transport }} | {{ Math.round(Number(provider.total_kg_co2e)).toLocaleString() }} kg CO2e | £{{ Number(provider.total_cost).toLocaleString() }} | {{ Number(provider.total_distance_km_processed).toLocaleString() }} km | {{ Math.round(Number(provider.total)).toLocaleString() }} journeys |
As the software that made this report looks at journeys, it tries to work out the origin, destination and mode of transport used for each one. Sometimes we have very clear information about a journey, but on other occasions pieces of information might be missing. We automatically categorise data according to how it was calculated - using the best possible figures, or using some other method.
| Status | Carbon emissions | Cost | Distance travelled | Count |
