Regulation (EU) 2026/1030

means an application, model or software allowing for the automatic calculation of greenhouse gas emissions from a transport service;

means a unit for comparing the radiative forcing of a greenhouse gas to that of carbon dioxide;

means a conformity assessment body as defined in Article 2, point 13, of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008.

means a legal or natural person who provides information on greenhouse gas emissions from transport services that start or end on the Union territory, but who does not provide or organise those services;

means a secondary data value drawn from a published source, which is taken as default where there is a lack of primary or modelled data;

means a substance or phenomenon that can be used to produce mechanical work or heat or to operate chemical or physical processes;

means a calculation tool that is provided on the market by a third party for broad commercial or non-commercial use;

means a gaseous constituent of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorbs and emits radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere and clouds;

means activity that results in a greenhouse gas emission;

means a quantitative measure of a greenhouse gas activity;

means the release of a greenhouse gas into the atmosphere expressed in mass of carbon dioxide equivalent;

means a coefficient relating greenhouse gas activity data to the greenhouse gas emission;

means a coefficient relating transport activity or hub activity to the greenhouse gas emission;

means the actions performed to quantify, through measurements and calculations, and used for reporting, greenhouse gas emissions;

means an operation in order to transfer freight or passengers through a hub;

means an entity that carries out hub operations involving carriage of freight or passengers;

means secondary data established by the use of a model that takes into account primary data and/or greenhouse gas emission-relevant parameters of a transport operation or hub operation, including by the use of a model provided through a calculation tool;

means disaggregated data on greenhouse gas emissions from a transport service established by using the common methodology and input data set out by this Regulation;

means the quantified value of a process or an activity obtained from a direct measurement or a calculation based on direct measurements;

means either modelled data or default values that do not fulfil the requirements for primary data, including data from databases and published literature, default values for greenhouse gas emission factors from national inventories, calculated data, estimates or other representative data and data obtained from proxy processes or estimates;

means transport service organiser, transport operator and hub operator;

means a sequence of transport elements related to freight or a (group of) passenger(s) that, when taken together, constitutes its movement from an origin to a destination;

means a section of a transport chain within which the freight or a (group of) passenger(s) is carried by a single vehicle or transits through a single hub;

means operation of a vehicle in order to transport passengers and/or freight;

means an entity that carries out transport operations involving carriage of freight or passengers, or both;

means transporting freight or a passenger from an origin to a destination;

means an entity that provides transport services within which the operation of some transport chain elements is subcontracted to one or more entities that operate them;

means a means of transporting passengers or freight, or both, in all transport modes;

means emissions representing the greenhouse gas impact stemming from the use of vehicles and the operation of transport hubs, and from the provision of energy to those services;
