Leading organisations are looking to decarbonise their logistics supply chains to meet the expectations of their customers, investors, and society. However, the current limitations faced by the industry -- such as high transport decarbonisation abatement costs and large, complex and dynamic supply chains -- make it challenging to move forward.
In-value chain market-based mechanisms, such as book and claim, provide a solution to these challenges by allowing buyers without physical access to decarbonised services, or lower-carbon fuels, to financially enable the decarbonisation of heavy transport and claim its benefits. This decoupling means the physical product may be used in one location, or by one party, while the associated environmental information is “booked” and “claimed” in another location or by another party. This helps increase the demand for low-carbon products while also helping to enable customers to achieve their sustainability ambitions.
