Aug 16, 2022 at 6:26 PMHow resource-efficient are your warehouse, terminal, or distribution center? The Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML is once again conducting a market study this year to determine the energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission intensity of logistics locations.
(Dortmund) Companies participating in the market study will receive their own annual CO2 footprint and emission intensity values, in addition to the overall results. A comparison within self-selected location clusters is also possible. For this year’s edition of the market study, a new online questionnaire has been developed, making participation even easier. Data collection began in August and is expected to be completed by the end of September 2022.
Participation in the study is free
Free participation in the study is possible via the following link: https://reff.iml.fraunhofer.de. The market study was first conducted in 2015 and continued in 2021 as part of the research project GILA (“German, Italian & Latin American consortium for resource efficient logistics hubs & transport”). The project examines logistics locations such as warehouses or terminals worldwide and aims to improve their energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emission intensity.
New Tool for Monitoring Greenhouse Gas Emissions
To assess resource consumption and emission efficiency, researchers developed the “REff Tool®” (Resource Efficiency at Logistics Sites). The tool is now available in an updated version and provides even more transparency regarding the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions at logistics locations.
