MAY 11, 2022

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released the draft 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan —the third update to the state’s initial 2008 Scoping Plan. It achieves this goal by building on and accelerating regulations, incentives, and carbon pricing that have been in place for a decade and a half.

The logistics industry is currently responsible for 11 percent of global carbon emissions. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization. For us at DHL Freight, sustainable fuel solutions are a key lever to change the fuel mix and ultimately reduce carbon emissions in road freight.

Before greenhouse gasses became a global concern, before we came to terms with the inevitable limits of fossil fuels, natural gas would have been a logical fuel alternative to petroleum. While less polluting than petroleum, burning natural gas emits significant carbon. Natural gas, like petroleum, is not forever.
