        为了减少其主要运输的碳排放量，德国邮政敦豪集团（ Deutsche Post DHL Group）旗下空运和海运专业户——DHL全球货运公司（DHL Global Forwarding）推出了一项基于使用可持续海运燃料的全新产品。

 

        继向拼箱货物（less-than-container load，简称LCL）运输提供了类似服务后，该物流公司现在又选择将碳减排扩展到整箱货物（full-container load，简称FCL）的运输领域。

 

        具体来说，为了客户利益，该服务提供了一种燃料转换产品，以便客户现能实现其整个海运供应链脱碳。

 

        正如前面所说，提供使用SMF的选项是朝着更清洁绿色的海运发展方向又迈出了一步，这也顺应了德国邮政敦豪集团2050年使命：“零排放”物流。

 

        “我们在应对气候变化方面做出了严肃的承诺，”DHL全球货运亚太区首席执行官Kelvin Leung说：“随着亚太地区对海运的需求愈发强烈，我们正处在优势地位，通过选择可持续的生物燃料，使客户整个海运贸易航线实现脱碳的方式，为我们的客户提供一种更容易的全新途径以减少其碳足迹”。

 

        DHL集团的客户瑞典Lindex公司将首个在整箱海运中改用可持续海运燃料。因此，在DHL全球货运公司的帮助下，Lindex公司正在对其全部海运货物运输进行脱碳处理。

 

        据悉，使用可持续海运燃料是DHL全球货运公司降低海运环境足迹的一个重要杠杆。在选择可持续海运燃料时，要注意确保它们是用可持续原料生产的，并且不与其他可持续性要求相冲突，比如食品生产。产自废料的生物燃料必须满足一些必要条件，以符合严格的可持续发展标准，成为目前市场上最清洁的生物燃料。该物流供应商以 "更少燃烧，清洁燃烧 "为目标，旨在优化其运输网、船队和房地产方面的碳消耗量。

 

        为海运提供可持续替代燃料是该集团在可持续发展方面的又一举措。根据最近公布的可持续发展路线图，到2030年，DHL集团有望投资70亿欧元用于气候中和的物流解决方案，并使可持续燃料满足其至少30%的燃料需求。

DHL launches sustainable marine fuel offering for full-container load shipments

 

In an effort to reduce its main haul carbon emissions, DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of Deutsche Post DHL Group, has launched a new offering based on the use of sustainable marine fuels.

 

Following the launch of a similar service for less-than-container load (LCL) shipments, the logistics firm is now extending the carbon reduction option to full-container load (FCL) shipments.

 

Specifically, customers can now decarbonize their complete ocean freight supply chains as the new service offer a fuel-switch on behalf of the customer.

 

As explained, offering the option of using SMF is another step towards cleaner and greener ocean freight, in line with Deutsche Post DHL Group’s Mission 2050 of net-zero emissions logistics.

 

“We take a serious commitment in our fight against climate change. With the strong demand for ocean freight in Asia Pacific, we are in a prime position to offer our customers a new and easier way to reduce their carbon footprint, by choosing sustainable biofuels, and decarbonizing their entire ocean freight trade lanes,” said Kelvin Leung, CEO DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific.

 

DHL’s customer Lindex will be the first to switch to sustainable marine fuel for its FCL ocean freight. As a result, Lindex is decarbonizing its entire ocean freight shipments with the help of DHL Global Forwarding.

 

The use of sustainable marine fuels is said to be an important lever for DHL Global Forwarding to reduce the environmental footprint of ocean freight. When selecting sustainable marine fuels, care is taken to ensure that they are produced with sustainable feedstock and are not in conflict with other sustainability requirements, such as food production. Waste-based biofuels must meet the requirements to be considered the cleanest biofuels currently available on the market according to strict sustainability standards. With the goal of “burn less, burn clean”, the logistics provider aims to optimize carbon consumption across its network, fleet, and real estate.

 

Offering a sustainable alternative fuel for ocean freight is another step within the group’s sustainability efforts. By 2030, DHL wants to invest EUR 7 billion in climate-neutral logistics solutions and cover at least 30 percent of its fuel requirements with sustainable fuels, according to its recently published sustainability roadmap.
