In Germany, DHL Global Forwarding and CMA CGM have agreed to jointly use 8,990 metric tons of UCOME second-generation biofuel, enabling an estimated 25,000 metric tons of CO2e well-to-wake emission reduction for ocean freight transported under DHL’s GoGreen Plus service.
This initiative empowers DHL customers to significantly reduce the carbon intensity of their international supply chains while accelerating the industry’s transition to alternative marine fuels, the German firm said.
Through DHL’s GoGreen Plus and CMA CGM’s ACT+ low-carbon transport offering, shippers can integrate sustainable maritime transport into their logistics operations. CMA CGM will physically bunker the biofuel across its fleet, ensuring that emission reductions correspond to DHL’s Book & Claim approach.
Both companies said they will continue to explore opportunities to scale up lower-carbon fuel usage and develop collaborative approaches to decarbonize international supply chains.
