@keerthana We currently have no transparency as to whether Carbon Sync uses a straight line distance between the specified locations or a realistic travel journey distance.
For example, an air freight journey taking a straight line route from Shenzhen to London is around 9,600 km, whereas a freight ship going via the Suez Canal is around 20,000km and a freight ship going round South Africa (which many currently are) would be more like 26,000km.
These differences in distance would make a significant difference to emissions and should be factored in depending on the mode of transport.
