Book & Claim
Accelerate the shift to low-emission fuels
Transforming the logistics chain to be eco-friendly can be costly. With Book & Claim, companies can take initial steps without having to make large investments.
While low-emission fuels are still limited, Book & Claim provides global access to sustainable practices. It links the physical use of alternative fuels with transport buyers who aim to reduce their carbon footprint—a win-win solution.
WHO IS IT FOR
Book & Claim empowers the entire transport sector to decarbonize
Carrier & LSP
- that plan to offer low-emission transportation and services
- that want to share emission reductions with stakeholders who are willing to pay the price premium
- that want to generate and consolidate demand for low-emission transport services to improve fuel availability and affordability
Shipper
- that aim to reduce their emissions
- that want access to low-emission transport services regardless of their geographic location
- that intend to claim verifiable GHG emissions reduction benefits in their climate disclosure
HOW IT WORKS
Solving the supply and cost dilemma of alternative fuels
Transport services with a low-emission profile are purchased (“book”)
Carrier/LSP implements low-emission fuels at the most efficient place of their transport network
Buyer of low-emission fuels "claim" the reductions and include them in their Scope 3 emissions reporting
Emission transaction is managed by shipzero as an independent platform
shipzero enables data-backed, trusted emission reduction
- Allocating emission reductions on shipment-level to clients or transport operation categories (TOC)
- Relying on data from a single source of truth to avoid erroneous double counting
- Capturing emission reductions consistently through primary energy and fuel consumption
- Public registry allows for external validation
GAIN ADVANTAGE
The fastest entry point towards decarbonization
Measurability and trust
Sustainable interventions on low-emission fuels and electrification are precisely measurable, auditable and follow international guidelines – as opposed to most offsetting schemes.
Global access
Enabling green freight services solves chicken-egg problem in demand and supply ramp-up of alternative propulsion for transport buyers and carriers.
Accelerate decarbonization
Book & Claim enables quick action towards sustainability which is crucial for achieving short-term goals.
Frequently asked questions
You'll need to maintain a chain of custody reporting system that includes evidence of fuel characteristics, transportation services, and other relevant data. This information ensures the transparency and accuracy of emissions reporting. shipzero provides comprehensive guidance and tools to support your reporting needs.
The shipzero Book & Claim system is available for all modes of transport. However, claims need to be for the same mode of transport as the bookings. You will not be able to claim reductions from a different mode of transport.
Yes, our Book & Claim calculations methodology is in accordance with ISO 14083:2023 and it is based on the Smart Freight Centre's Voluntary Market Based Measures Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting. We also incorporate best practice from the industry at large and are involved in ongoing initiatives with organizations like the Smart Freight Centre to advance the global standards for sustainable transport emissions.
Our platform ensures complete transparency by providing detailed methodologies and data used in calculating attributes. All transactions are traceable, and users can access comprehensive reports and claim statements that document the emissions calculations.
