COPERT is the EU standard vehicle emissions calculator. It uses vehicle population, mileage, speed and other data such as ambient temperature and calculates emissions and energy consumption for a specific country or region. 

COPERT is:

  • Internationally recognised — used by many European countries for reporting official emissions data.
  • A research tool — calculate emissions at a national, regional or local scale, and for annual to daily estimates.
  • Technologically advanced and transparent — COPERT’s methodology is published and peer-reviewed by experts of the UNECE LRTAP Convention.
  • Includes all main pollutants: greenhouse gases, air pollutants and toxic species.

The COPERT methodology is part of the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook for the calculation of air pollutant emissions and is consistent with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions.
