=== Score ===
The CO<sub>2</sub> impact must be translated to a score from 0 - 100. A score of 100 represents the country in question, i.e. the product did not cross a border. A score of 0 represents the worst case, i.e. the longest distance traveled. These scores must be calculated for each country. These scores will be applied as bonus, so it is assumed that the ACV of the product is the worst case.

The CO<sub>2</sub> impact must be translated to a score from 0 - 100. A score of 100 represents the country in question, i.e. the product did not cross a border. Any other country should be less than 100. A score of 0 represents the worst case, i.e. the largest impact. These scores must be calculated for each origin. These scores will be applied as bonus, so it is assumed that the ACV of the product is the worst case.
    
The steps involved are:
 
The steps involved are:
* Max-impact - we need a good estimate for the maximum CO<sub>2</sub> impact. You would expect that getting something from an island in the Great Ocean (20.000km away) would have the most impact, but is better than transporting something from Greece to France by truck. We set the maximum impact at the largest distance by maritime mode. This might punish road transport as well.

We set the maximum impact at the largest distance by maritime mode. This might punish road transport as well. This value will be used to normalise all other impacts.
* Transportation Mode - when we do not know the mix of transportation modes used between countries, we will assume that the worst mode has been used, i.e. the mode with the worst impact.

* Transportation Mode impact - when we do not know the mix of transportation modes used between countries, we will assume that the worst mode has been used, i.e. the mode with the worst impact.
    
The formula for the score of an origin for a country is then:
 
The formula for the score of an origin for a country is then:
   −
score<sub>origin</sub>(country) = 100 - max(CO<sub>2, origin</sub>(maritime), CO<sub>2, origin</sub>(road)) / max<sub>all origin</sub>(CO<sub>2</sub>(maritime))*100
+
score<sub>origin</sub>(country) = 100 - max(CO<sub>2, origin</sub>(maritime), CO<sub>2, origin</sub>(road)) / max<sub>all origin</sub>(CO<sub>2</sub>(maritime))*100.

If we now the transportation mix this becomes:
 +
score<sub>origin</sub>(country) = 100 - sum<sub>mode = 0</sub><sup>N</sup>(CO<sub>2, origin</sub>(mode)) / max<sub>all origin</sub>(CO<sub>2</sub>(maritime))*100.
