Abstract
LIPASTO is a calculation system for transport energy
consumption and emissions in Finland. The system
comprises two separate units, the emission inventory part
and the unit emission database part. This article is an
introduction to the LIPASTO system, the main focus being
on the unit emission database. The database contains
energy consumption and emission figures for both
passenger and freight transport, expressed as grams per
passenger kilometre or tonne kilometre. These types of
data are needed, for example, when calculating the carbon
footprint of a transport service or when assessing the
life cycle emissions of a consumer product. The LIPASTO
system has been developed by VTT, and all main results
are published on a free website www.lipasto.vtt.fi.
