DB Schenker, which has purchased 2,500 tonnes of the fuel from CMA CGM, said that it will be able to reach net carbon zero-emission on a well-to-wake basis on the Less-than Container Load (LCL) segment, immediately reducing environmental footprint for both companies.<\/p>\n
\u201cRunning on biofuel marks another important step towards greener supply chains and pays into our overall sustainability agenda in ocean freight,\u201d said Thorsten Meincke, global board member for air & ocean freight at DB Schenker.<\/p>\n
\u201dOur goal is to become a sustainability leader of the logistics industry and net carbon-zero by 2040, and we are ambitiously taking the lead here with CMA CGM.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carbon-zero<\/strong><\/p>\n DB Schenker said that customers can book the carbon-zero LCL option with immediate effect and receive a certificate of the emission reduction for their climate balance sheet.<\/p>\n The cooperation has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 7,000 tonnes CO2e well-to-wake, which corresponds with at least 100% of the WTW emissions of the LCL containers handled with CMA CGM.<\/p>\n Olivier Nivoix, executive vice president, lines, CMA CGM Group, said: \u201cAs a pioneer and a leader in sustainable shipping and logistics, the CMA CGM group has pledged that alternative fuels will cover at least 10% of its consumption by 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCMA CGM continues to invest heavily in research and development alongside its industrial partners to identify the energy sources of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n Biofuel is produced from waste materials, such as used cooking oils. It\u2019s appealing as a marine fuel because it can integrate into regular operations without infrastructure or supply chain adjustments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A global logistics provider says its switched its LCL container segment to biofuel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[40,27,344,343,145,342],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-biofuel","tag-carbon-zero","tag-lcl","tag-logistics","tag-supply-chain"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2036,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2034\/revisions\/2036"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2034"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
