the calculations and spreadsheet described above should be checked against the values publish by Eco-score. This can be achieved by recalculating the values for France.

The first take at the calculations can be seen in the graph below:

From the graph it can be seen there is still work to be done:
 +
* The eco-score values are in general lower than my calculation. This can be due to a different normalisation: what should be used as maximum, that corresponds to eco-score value 0. I used the impact to islands in the Pacific;
 +
* Is there a cutoff distance, where we rather transport by boat than road;
 +
* I did not use any modal mix and assumed the worst option by road;
 +
* There might be centroid issues, for instance why has Monaco (south of France) a worse eco-score than Denmark? Would also imply that internal transport should be taken into account.
 +
* There are many large individual differences reflecting other choices that have been made in centroids, distances, impact, etc. We really need to be more transparency and thus might get more consistency.
