  • Publication number: 20240087073
    Abstract: A control device reads power consumption, information on the delivery number and weight of a first product set, and information on the delivery number and weight of a second product set from a storage device. The control device proportionally divides the power consumption. The control device reads a first conversion formula from the storage device, and calculates CO2 emissions from transportation of the first product set from an A station to a B station and CO2 emissions from transportation of the second product set from the A station to the B station by substituting the power consumptions, into the first conversion formula.
