In this short article you’ll find five questions to determine if your transport and logistics company should consider Book & Claim to unlock new business opportunities. Gain insights about requirements for implementation of this approach to reach decarbonization goals.
Five scenarios for Book & Claim
Are you working in logistics for a carrier or logistics service provider (LSP) and:
- Already offer alternative transport solutions and want to monetize them, OR
- Your customers increasingly ask for alternative transport solutions, OR
- Focus on last-mile shipping, OR
- Your customers are primarily from the automotive, fashion, FMCG, or food industry, OR
- You want to differentiate your services from competitors?
If you mentally ticked even just one of these boxes, consider Book & Claim for your company. Read our article “Book & Claim: What carrier, LSP, and shipper need to know” to gain essential background knowledge about this promising approach to unlock new business opportunities.
How carrier and LSP implement Book & Claim
Carrier need proof of purchased volumes of sustainable fuels within specific time frames. This proof may be a certificate from the fuel provider itself.
Furthermore, this proof should include information on:
- the exact fuel type acquired, to derive the CO2e reduction potential compared to an appropriate fossil baseline for that mode (e.g., Diesel B7 for road)
- a reference to the certification of the fuel product to avoid double counting or uncertified products
You need a 100% complete accounting of your regular transport emissions to accurately derive CO2e reductions based on sustainable fuels or battery-electric propulsion usage. This will enable you to claim reductions flexibly within your transport and client structure and to market your investments to customers interested in carbon insetting.
