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

To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization. For us at DHL Global Forwarding, sustainable fuel solutions are the key lever to change the fuel mix and ultimately reduce carbon emissions in ocean freight. —Tim Scharwath, CEO DHL Global Forwarding, Freight.

While the impact of a handful of EVs is negligible, consider the positive climate impact if millions of mobile batteries were on tap to help replace fossil fuel-based electricity. What’s more, it’s expected that other states will follow California’s lead in matters of climate protection and EV adoption.

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. The paper is available from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).

The legislation also proposes numerous actions against financing and support for fossil fuel industries.

Instead, DeCicco proposes a method using annual basis carbon (ABC) accounting to track the stocks and flows of carbon and other relevant greenhouse gases (GHGs) throughout fuel supply chains. ABC accounting with appropriate reporting periods can also be used to manage carbon stocks and sinks.
