Image Credit: Hapag-LloydDHL Global Forwarding has signed a deal with Hapag-Lloyd to cover the emissions from its shipments with the container line's use of biofuels. Under the three-year deal, DHL will purchase scope 3 GHG emission reductions resulting from the use of biofuels on Hapag-Lloyd's fleet, Hapag-Lloyd said in a statement on its website on Friday. The partnership applies the book-and-claim chain of custody model, which lets customers attribute verified emission reductions to their shipments even if the biofuel is consumed elsewhere in the fleet. Both companies have committed to ambitious targets-Hapag-Lloyd to reach net-zero fleet emissions by 2045 and DHL by 2050.
