Volkswagen Group continues switch to low-emission logistics with order for four more LNG ships

Green Car Congress

JULY 15, 2021

Volkswagen is the first automaker to transport most of its new vehicles overseas using low-emission LNG ships. On the return trip, the LNG ships will transport new vehicles destined for Europe. Only unavoidable emissions are offset by climate protection measures.

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.

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. DeCicco (2009).

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”.

Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climate protection. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies. Hydrogen is the missing piece in the jigsaw when it comes to emission-free mobility.

Hydrogen has the potential to increase the proportion of renewable energies used, particularly in the transport and heating sectors. Hydrogen generated using renewable energies can thus significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transport and heating sectors. The previously reduced material is reoxidized.
