Is the cargo carried on a flight taken into account when you calculate the passengers' share of fuel consumption?

As part of the calculation method, we discount the emissions associated with any additional cargo which may be carried on a passenger flight. Thus, the fuel use of the cargo is removed when calculating the emissions attributable to the passengers.
