Consumer pressure to reduce fuel consumption grows
A new tool measuring the carbon produced from bunkers in maritime supply chains estimates that international loaded container journeys in 2010 produced an average 1.4 tonnes per teu, or 278 grams per teu mile. The idea of calculating the CO2 per container comes as consumer pressure grows to reduce fuel consumption and its impact on global warming. Only two weeks ago, AP Moller-Maersk championed the idea of a green label on consumer goods, showing the total carbon emissions of the door-to-shelf supply chain.
