A head start in alternative fuels
C.H. Robinson is launching a new alternative fuel programme to reduce CO2 emissions in supply chains. Based on two pillars, the strategy aims to give the logistics platform a better idea of emissions and how to reduce them.
Firstly, the company will leverage its network of operators that use renewable fuel for their fleets, which will enable customers to switch to more sustainable transport solutions. The operators use HVO 100, a synthetic oil that is both renewable and biodegradable.
Secondly, the company will introduce the book & claim method, allowing it to work with environmentally conscious fleet operators to obtain certificates which it can then offer its customers. Using these methods, the programme can facilitate the switch to sustainable supply chains for C.H. Robinson’s customers. (mk)
