Geo-based CO₂ Footprint

The Geo-based CO₂ Footprint report (short CO₂ Report) is a DataPortal feature that automatically generates emissions documentation based on machine telemetry data. It provides standardized, contract-ready emissions information for any selected geographic area (jobsite) and time range — eliminating the need for manual data collection from fuel logs or spreadsheets.

The report consolidates raw telematics data into a unified and verified CO₂ statement suitable for:

  • regulatory compliance
  • public tender submissions
  • internal fleet analysis
  • customer reporting

Creating a CO₂ Report

To create a customized report, proceed as follows:

  1. Navigate to Reports > Export Center > Geo Based CO₂ Footprint to open the overview page.
    CO₂ Report Overview
  2. Select a Geo Area and a Time range. The report includes all machines that enter the selected area during the chosen time range.
  3. Click Generate Report. A confirmation message appears: Your request is currently processed. You will receive an email with a download link once it´s ready. Alternatively, you can download the file directly from the page.

To define Geo Areas refer to the documentation on how to create Geo Areas.

After submitting the request, the Recently Requested table on the overview page displays your report with the selected Geo Area and Time Range. The report is available in the table for 7 days. From the Status column, you can download or delete the report.

You will also receive an email notification at the address stored in your Personal User Settings, containing a link to download the .csv report file. This link is valid for 7 days.

CSV File Contents

The exported .csv file contains a fixed set of columns in a predefined order:

  • Machine Name – Name of the machine.
  • Machine Serial – Unique serial number of the machine.
  • Time in Area (hours) – Total time the machine was located within the selected Geo Area during the reporting period.
  • Operating Hours – Total operating hours recorded for the machine within the selected time range.
  • Fuel (Litres) – Total fuel consumption of the machine during the reporting period.
  • Energy (kWh) – Calculated energy output based on fuel consumption.
  • CO₂ (kg) – Calculated carbon dioxide emissions based on standardized conversion factors.

Measurement units are based on the unit system configured in the Personal User Settings within the DataPortal.
Users can choose between:

  • Metric (SI) units (e.g. liters, kilometers, hours)
  • Imperial units (e.g. gallons, miles, hours)

Data Sources and Calculation Basis

The CO₂ Report is derived from machine data transmitted via Proemion telematics. The following input parameters are used for the calculation:

  • Operating hours: Total hours each machine was active on site.
  • Fuel consumption: Recorded fuel used per machine.
  • Energy output: Calculated or measured energy delivered by the equipment.
  • Machine identifiers: Machine name and serial number.
  • Time stamps: Start and end of operations for each period.

CO₂ Calculation Factors

The CO₂ Report uses fixed, hardcoded conversion factors based on a standardized diesel model:

  • Fuel to Energy:
    38 MJ/L × 0.278 kWh/MJ × 35% efficiency = 3.6974 kWh/L

  • Fuel to CO₂:
    2.6817 kg CO₂ per liter of fuel

These factors are applied consistently across all reports.

Fuel Type Assumptions

The calculation does not differentiate between fuel or powertrain types.
All machines are evaluated using a standardized diesel assumption, regardless of whether they are diesel, HVO, electric, hybrid, or alternative-fuel machines.

Time Zone Handling

All timestamps in the report are processed and exported using the Personal User Settings within the DataPortal.
