Lowering your logistics emissions

We believe business and sustainability should not be mutually exclusive. That’s why throughout the supply chain we provide you options to introduce a sustainable fuel solution for your cargo.

As clean fuel solutions are continually developing, the amount of fuel available varies in different parts of the world. However, we are committed to meet the immediate fuel solution needs of our customers, wherever they are on the globe.

So, whether by road, air or sea, you can benefit from our knowledge, and our certified suppliers, as we simplify your business decarbonisation initiatives from beginning to end while delivering a CO₂ reduction declaration for your calculations.

The sustainable fuel process explained

Advantages of biofuel

  • Can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90%
  • Can be used as a direct replacement (drop-in) for air, sea and road fuels.
  • Biofuels come from renewable sources.
  • Can significantly reduce Particulate matter (PM) emissions.
  • Biofuels are biodegradable meaning in case of an accident, they can break down naturally.
  • New developments in biofuels means it’s likely they’ll be more energy efficient than conventional fuel in near future.

What types of sustainable fuel are used in logistics?

We provide sustainable fuel options across our air and sea as well as road services. Plus, as we only use suppliers who meet sustainability criteria of various accredited frameworks, you can rest assured that you are truly getting closer to decarbonisation.

How do we use sustainable fuel in our logistics?

Once we’ve determined your existing carbon footprint, we recommend a proper sustainable fuel solution that will help to decarbonise your supply chain most efficiently.

Sustainable fuels are fuels with similar properties to conventional jet fuel such as diesel, but with a smaller carbon footprint. Generally produced from biodegradable materials, this fuel both lowers emissions as well the impact on the environment required to extract crude oil for diesel. That said, we offer our clients a solution of both to ensure their logistics needs are met.
BioFuels, whether for aviation, road or sea, are more sustainable than diesel due to the lowered CO₂ emissions from BioFuels.
BioFuels can often replace traditional fuels. Examples include SAF for aviation, HVO is used in road transportation and FAME for sea transport.
