DHL Global Forwarding and shipping group CMA CGM have agreed to jointly use 8,990 metric tons of second-generation biofuel to reduce emissions from ocean freight.
The initiative is expected to cut around 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions on a well-to-wake basis for container shipments moved under DHL’s GoGreen Plus service, marking a further step in efforts to decarbonize maritime transport.
Under the agreement, the biofuel used will be UCOME, a second-generation fuel derived from waste and residue feedstocks. CMA CGM will physically bunker the fuel across its fleet, while DHL will allocate the associated emissions reductions to customers through its Book & Claim approach.
“This collaboration marks another milestone in our mission towards low-carbon supply chains.
