Tool measures carbon in maritime sector
A carbon logger has been employed in the supply chain of the mining company Anglo American. It has offset the carbon emissions for an ocean freight voyage from South Africa to Europe, using Right Ship's verified carbon accounting tool and offset credits purchased from South Pole.
Anglo American transports large volumes of bulk commodity products. To project the environment and ensure sustainability, the company has committed to sustainable mining plan, setting a goal for a 30% reduction in net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030.
Right Ship's GHG rating compares a ship's theoretical CO2 emissions with other vessels of a similar size and type - both newbuilds and existing ships – and gives each ship a rating on an A to G scale, with 'A' indicating the most efficient vessels and 'G' the least. (kd)
