Reducing emissions from freight transport is necessary and urgent, and finding solutions to do this effectively is a priority for the transport and logistics sector today. The technology is available and the solutions can be different depending on the needs.
Direct purchase of sustainable fuels with 70% to 90% emission
reduction to 90% used directly in
the Gruber Logistics fleet.
Solutions that can be adopted throughout Europe and are compatible with all transport flows and road transport services without scalability limitations.
Certified impact on emission reductions per shipment, reportable according to international standards and with transparency guaranteed by external bodies.
*with purchase of electricity from renewable sources
ISCC certification on all sustainable fuels
used in compliance with European regulations
Certified renewable raw materials without use of products
at risk of deforestation and land use change (ILUC)
Emissions calculated according to Well-to-Wheel (WTW) cycle
as per GLEC and ISO14083 standards.
When investing in emission reduction, it is important to track
of the results achieved and be able to state this clearly and transparently.
Direct purchase of sustainable fuels in accordance with company policy and only after audits to verify product quality and certification of raw materials for fuel production.
Direct consumption of sustainable fuels by owned fleet vehicles with verification of the quantities consumed by each vehicle via TMS (Transport Management System).
Allocation of sustainable fuel consumption on our customers’ transports and calculation of certified emissions following the Book and Claim standard.
Biofuels such as BioLNG and HVO are renewable fuels obtained from biomass or organic waste.
BioLNG (liquefied biomethane) is derived from the purification and liquefaction of biogas produced from organic waste, while Biodiesel is a liquid biofuel made from vegetable oils and other raw materials of organic origin, and can be blended with conventional fuel or used purely.
Biofuels reduce CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere by a percentage that depends on their nature and the production process.
L’HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a second-generation biofuel made from vegetable oils or waste fats treated with hydrogen.
This process removes impurities and improves the fuel’s properties, making it similar to fossil diesel but with lower CO₂ and particulate emissions.
It can be used pure or blended into diesel without modifications to diesel engines.
Using an electric vehicle reduces direct emissions of CO₂ and other pollutants compared to an internal combustion vehicle, but the environmental impact depends on the energy mix used to produce the electricity used to power the electric vehicle.
If the energy comes from fossil sources, the overall emissions can still be significant. For a 100 per cent reduction, energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind or hydro must be used.
Emissions from transport activities depend on the quantity of goods transported, as weight increases emissions increase, and the length of the route to the destination, the longer the route the greater the emissions.
They also depend on the type of fuel used. To be certified, emissions must be calculated using the international standard defined by GLEC or ISO 140083.
