Kuehne+Nagel has secured the equivalent volumes of a waste-based next generation biofuel to save CO2e emissions of 40,000 TEUs.
The Kuehne+Nagel biofuel concept is based on next generation biofuels according to RED II and allocates fully traceable contingents of biofuel to the customers’ cargo.
Otto Schacht, Member of the Management Board, Kuehne + Nagel International AG, responsible for Sea Logistics, commented:
Kuehne+Nagel is committed to saving the emissions of 40,000 TEU through the use of biofuel. We have secured this as the first of several high-volume options to offer our customers easy access to direct CO2e emissions free transport. We would like to encourage our customers to join us on the path to a zero carbon future
By joining the Science Based Targets initiative, Kuehne+Nagel has set ambitious environmental goals for the transition to a zero carbon business model by reducing the company’s own carbon emissions and supporting its customers with their transition.
In this effort, the company is investing in low-carbon fuels and renewable energy, as well as verified CO2 reporting. The company’s digital platform sea-explorer also enables the identification of sea freight routes with lower CO2 emissions.
