Škoda Tour LuXembourg 2022 Tracks Carbon Emissions for First Time Using nZero to Set New Benchmarks for Future Professional Cycling Races

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, November 15, 2022

RENO, Nev. and LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- nZero, the near real time (NRT) carbon data and sustainability platform that tracks and operationalizes energy, financial and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data to help organizations reach climate change goals, announces the results of its emissions report for the Škoda Tour LuXembourg 2022. While bikes are thought of as a green mode of transportation, there are many factors involved in the planning and execution of large-scale cycling races that can have unseen – and unrealized – environmental impacts across all three emissions scopes. After tracking emissions across bike teams, suppliers, and vendors, nZero uncovered that the total GHG emissions for the five-day cycling event was 91.1 MT CO2e1, which is equivalent to driving about 226,000 miles (363,712 km) in a passenger car, or 9 trips around the world.

Key Points:

"We applaud the koda Tour LuXembourg 2022 for using their race as a moment of progress for better, more sustainable large-scale event practices."
When examining the top source of emissions for the event, nearly one-third (32%) of the total event emissions are attributable to teams traveling to and from the event.
While the train was utilized for 13% of the total cycling team travel, it only accounted for 0.37% of total team travel emissions.
To help encourage sustainable racing practices, nZero awarded the nZero Hero Team award to the cycling team that emitted the lowest level of carbon emissions.
