Decarbonisation solutions for all transport modes
Replacing conventional fossil fuels with sustainable fuel alternatives can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 80-90%. The transition from fossil energy to electricity and sustainable fuels is therefore critical to the ability of the transport sector to significantly reduce its climate impact.
DSV has now invested in large quantities of sustainable fuel via its new "book and claim" solution. It uses the respective sustainable fuels for air and sea globally and road freight within Europe.
Working with the customer, the forwarder calculates the CO2 emissions from the specific shipments and transport modes, and then allocates the appropriate volume of sustainable fuels required to decarbonise the customer’s shipment.
Passing on the ownership of the CO2 reductions to the customer, DSV ensures that the CO2 saved by the allocation of sustainable fuel can then be accounted for within the customer's CO2 reports.
The book and claim solution was developed based on the latest industry guidance and Science Based Target Initiative principles. The process is verified by a third-party auditor and documented across the value chain, and customers will receive a declaration to validate their emission reductions. (ben)
