<aside> 💡 High-Level Description:

Originating from the Netherlands, the CO2-emissiefactoren methodology stands as a testament to Dutch precision and environmental commitment. Designed to address the increasing demand for sustainable urban development, this method specifically evaluates the carbon footprint of bus transport systems. The Netherlands, with its dense population centers and intricate public transportation networks, sees buses as an essential mode of daily commute.

CO2-emissiefactoren's approach dives deep into factors like fuel type, bus capacity, average distance covered, and occupancy rates. Such a meticulous system ensures that urban planning decisions, from bus route optimizations to fleet renewals, are driven by tangible data. The ultimate goal of this methodology is to facilitate a bus transit system that is not just efficient and robust, but also environmentally benign, aligning perfectly with the Dutch vision for sustainable urban living.
