Abstract
Nowadays, the environmental aspects of transport are very actual issues, mainly the energy consumption and GHG production. The priority of EU transport strategy is to decrease the negative environmental impacts of all transport modes. The article discusses the calculation of the energy consumption and production of greenhouse gases in transport from both the primary and secondary points of view. This means, that it reflects the implications on the environment not only while operating the vehicle, but also during production, refining, distribution and storage of the fuel used in transport. The calculation is done by using the methodology of the standard EN 16 258:2012. This standard is used on all cars using various types of propellants. The results of the calculation show in a non-discriminatory manner the energy effectiveness of the individual types of fuel, as well as the rate of their production of greenhouse gases expressed in a comparison unit of equivalent CO2e.

SummaryThe environmental aspects of transport are very actual issues, mainly the energy consumption and greenhouse gases (GHG) production
Energy consumption and the production of greenhouse gases are an increasing problem in today’s society
When calculating the energy consumption and the emissions related to vehicles, the energy consumption and emissions related to energy processes connected to fuel and/or electricity powered vehicles, are considered
