  • Container ship (crude) ship
  • Bulk ship (crude)
• Train (electricity or diesel)

• Truck (diesel or biofuel)
• Van (diesel or biofuel)
• Car (fuel, diesel, biofuel, natural gas, solar or electricity)
• Airplane (kerosine)
• Animal (produce)
• Human (produce, animal)

What we need to find to figure out the transportation costs are:

• Usage of fuel/kg/km transported for all transport types
• Database of distances between places. I'm sure the logistics companies have this information, but are they going to give it to us if we ask is a different question. So if you know of any open content sources to get road/railroad/ship/airtravel distances between places it would be most welcome. We could approach this by finding these distances coutry-by-country and then linking countries together using UN/LOCODE bordercrossing points as nodes to tie the countries networks together.
