Carbon Footprint
Your transport data — the key to calculating your carbon footprint.
Do you transport by truck, rail, or vessel? What are the routes? How much cargo do you ship? By examining this data and applying our in-house developed carbon footprint calculator, we can determine your total CO² emission after which we can start working on scenarios for reduction.
Ahlers is also part of the Logistar project, an EU project with the goal of optimizing transport operations in Europe by taking advantage of horizontal collaboration and real-time data gathered.
REDUCE
- Implementation of modal shifts: an example from the truck to barge, calculations showed that every container going over water instead of land, saved up to 64,71kg CO2 emissions - approx 50% reduction compared to road transport.
- Optimizing daily transport routes analyzing the impact of adapted delivery frequency on the required number of trucks and driven kilometers.
Our inhouse developed CO2 calculation tool adopts the GLEC framework for emission calculation.
COLLABORATE
- Driving horizontal collaboration, we work with our customers, how they can benefit from supply network matchmaking, providing transport overlap analysis, driving carbon footprint reductions.
- By using our collaboration software tools, supported by interactive CO2 dashboards, we can typically reduce 15% to 20%, on average, in kilometers driven and further increase route utilization.
Track CO² emissions of logistics movements with easy-to-use dashboards to view your performance against key efficiency KPI’s
Perform customer overlap analysis and maximize the synergies in your supply chain network to reduce your carbon footprint.
Supply chain scenario planning
Based on carbon footprint data or integration of any data model set, run what-if scenarios, simulating different transport modes, events to calculate GHG emissions for each scenario.
