Total CO2 emissions on current methods of delivery is
2.3 to 3.45kg per parcel
or
365 to 548 Million tons of CO2 per year
or
equivalent to 80 to 120 Million cars for one year.
The Numbers Behind The Problem
“There are over 150 billion packages being delivered in the world every year.”
One driver delivers an average of 80 to 120 parcels per day, in a cube van, in 8-10 hours shift. The delivery van engine will be operational for 8-10 hours consuming as much as 120 litres of gasoline. CO2 per parcel 2.3kg to 3.45kg.
Each litre of gasoline produces 2.3kg of CO2.
Delivery for the last mile from warehouse to final destination could be producing 2.3kg of CO2 per parcel. In 2021, 159 Billion parcels were delivered.
159 Billion parcels x 2.3kg = 365 Million tons of CO2 per year
159 Billion parcels x 3.45kg = 548 Million tons of CO2 per year
This is equivalent to 80 to 120 Million cars for one year of driving. This does not include all other stages of shipping: from factory to port, country of origin to receiving port, to warehouse.
“Let’s ask the minister of transportation and federal aviation if we can afford NOT to do this.”
The Numbers Behind The Solution
“The Droneport Delivery concept is based on high volume delivery, with up to 1500 packages in a single load, delivered via designated location hubs. ”
Highway tractor trailer would use 100 liters of fuel, round trip, from warehouse to hub, carrying up to 1500 parcels.
230kg of CO2 ÷ 1500 parcels = 153 grams of CO2 per parcel.
A reduction of 1550% compared to the current system.
Individuals going shopping with their own vehicle, round trip 12km, items purchase 15 to 20 would have the same impact as the airport drone.
The current method of delivery is not sustainable.
Returning the Packages
Up to 30% of parcels are returned doubling amount of CO2. Returning the package to the sender in most cases is cost prohibitive. Most cases, the parcels end up in the landfill creating methane.
The Droneport Delivery will mitigate that problem.

Cost & Financing
The cost of Droneport Delivery rooftop airport, based on size and level of automation, will start at $40,000 and up.
Current delivery cost per parcel is from $5 to $10 each.
The Droneport Delivery can save a big portion of it. When the government imposes, $100-$200 per ton carbon tax, the savings would be greater.
Financing
The cost of the drone airport will be financed by Droneport Delivery and recovered from the income generated. Income can be shared with the building owner, and all other participants. In the case of a brand-new project, the builder can construct, the airport with reduced cost.
By using the Droneport Delivery all carriers would see a much higher profit, decrease in CO2 and reduction of waste (one day per week for returns).
NOTE: All large parcel service delivery would be allocated a time slot to the designated take-off location.
