DHL to use biofuel to neutralize carbon emissions of all ‘less-than-container’ load shipments in ocean freight globally

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 29, 2020

DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, says it will be neutralizing the carbon emissions of all less-than-container load (LCL) ocean freight shipments from 1 January 2021. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization.

The facility will filter 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air and mineralize it underground. With direct air capture technology, carbon dioxide is extracted from the ambient air and air free of CO 2 is returned to the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is thus permanently removed from the atmosphere.

DeCicco: Transportation GHG reduction policy should focus upstream on fuel supply rather than downstream on choice of fuels in vehicles

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 25, 2013

John DeCicco at the University of Michigan argues that to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, the proper policy focus should be upstream in sectors that provide the fuel, rather than downstream on the choice of fuels in the automobile. —“Factor Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Automobiles”.

Last week, the European Commission adopted a package of proposals to make the EU’s climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels (Fit for 55). As a result, all new cars registered as of 2035 will be zero-emission.

Discussion Paper Suggests Mechanisms for Addressing Biofuel GHG Emissions Under Cap-and-Trade Schemes; Avoiding the Renewability Shortcut and Moving Toward Carbon Management for All Transportation Fuels

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 9, 2009

Including biofuels under a cap-and-trade scheme could create a more complete carbon management framework for the transportation fuels sector, according to a new peer-reviewed discussion paper by Dr. John DeCicco. In particular, it fails to cover many GHG emissions during the production of biofuels and their feedstocks.
