Customers can book their sea freight using fully renewable fuel, LBM, through a book-and-claim method based on the amount of energy required to transport containers across the ocean.

The fuel is certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) and is produced from waste-based raw materials, ensuring that no palm oil or other unsustainable sources are used. This results in a 100% reduction in CO₂e emissions per container compared to conventional fossil fuels. The reduction is calculated according to the Well-to-Wake (WTW) methodology, which includes emissions from fuel production to its final use.

Customers receive proof of their purchase of sustainable fuel, including an independently verified certificate showing the achieved CO₂e reduction thanks to the fuel switch.

“Carbon insetting is an incredibly effective method for reducing emissions by up to 100%. We are proud to now offer our customers this opportunity and hope and believe that it will accelerate the process of achieving our own and our customers’ emission reduction targets,” – Oscar Lundgren, CEO of TKL Logistics AB.

The new service and product portfolio for renewable fuels have been developed in collaboration with STX Group, a global trading house for renewable energy and a provider of climate solutions. STX Group has been at the forefront of the energy transition for over 25 years.

“We are pleased to see the shipping industry accelerating the transition to renewable fuels and congratulate TKL Logistics for now offering this to its customers,” comments Carl Otto Lindsjö, Sales Trader at STX Group.

You are now able to find this tool in our customer portal. The tool offers a clear and comprehensive overview of the carbon emissions of your transports. Our objective is to effectively assist you in reaching your environmental goals.

The new functionalities we have launched do not only report your shipments’ amount of carbon emissions but also, the carbon emissions for each individual mode of transport during the last year. Additionally, you will now be able to see how much carbon emissions per kilogram of cargo that has been generated by the different modes of transport. Our aim is to simplify the process of monitoring the carbon emissions on a shipment level. We are hoping that these statistics will be useful for you in both smaller and bigger sustainability decisions your company is facing.

Below we are providing some examples of how the statistics are presented in the customer portal.

Carbon emissions for each mode of transport

This pie chart presents the carbon emissions divided by the different modes of transport. If you want to aim towards more environmentally friendly transports our recommendation is to increase the percentage of sea and/or train transports. Then you will see how it will make up for most of the pie chart. In addition, for bigger shipments sea and train transports are often cheaper than air and courier solutions. I.e. viable both from an environmental and economic perspective.

Carbon emissions for each kilogram of cargo

This chart presents how much carbon emission per kilogram of cargo that your shipments are generating. You can see that cargo shipped by sea and train is generating less carbon emissions in relation to the other modes of transport.

Carbon emission on a monthly basis

The bars in the diagram display your number of shipments each month. The horizontal line across the bars presents the carbon emissions generated by these shipments.

Why are the measurement tools important?

The majority of all carbon emissions are caused by the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas. Hence, transport is a large contributor to the increased amount of carbon emissions. By providing you with these carbon emission measurements we are hoping to support you in the evaluation of your carbon footprint.

We also believe that this can be used as a foundation for both potential changes, but also to show the good choices you are already making. Each shipment is unique, where many parameters must be weighed, however, we hope that this environmental report can clarify the aspect of carbon emissions.

In the customer portal you can view the statistics of your own shipments. Do you have any questions or reflections regarding this new tool? Do not hesitate to contact us.

Together we can make a change for the environment.
