Insetting in air and sea freight helps you to reduce CO2 emissions during transport. This is done by using sustainable fuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or Sustainable Marine Fuels (SMF). Under the “Book and Claim” approach, the use of the fuel is attributed to your shipment. However, the fuel does not have to be used directly for your shipment, but for a means of transport in the same transport sector (insetting). Compared to conventional fuels, SAF and SMF can reduce CO2 emissions by 80 to 100 percent. The exact amount of reduced CO2 emissions depends on the type of sustainable fuel, the underlying raw materials and the means of transport. We would be happy to calculate exact values for your shipments.
How do I book an air freight shipment with SAF?
Depending on the airline, an additional amount per kilogram is invoiced for CO2 reduction through SAF. We will be happy to provide you with a quote based you on the amount of CO2 you wish to offset.
Note: SAF sustainable fuel is not yet available on all flight routes and does not yet allow for 100 percent fuel offset. To achieve the desired CO2 compensation, the required offset quantity is distributed across the relevant routes or several routes. From 2025, at least 2 percent SAF must be blended with conventional kerosene. By 2050, the SAF share will gradually increase to 63 percent.
How do I book a sea freight shipment with SMF?
The reduction of CO2 emissions for a sea freight shipment is based on the Book & Claim principle. The amount of additional cost per shipment depends on the shipment weight and distance.
Do you want to reduce the CO2 emissions for your shipments? Then please contact our employees at the Gebrüder Weiss Air & Sea branches.
Marine Biofuel Insets are a mechanism for reducing CO2 emissions in sea freight. Companies can use renewable fuels such as Liquefied Biomethane (LBM) for sea transport without using the fuel directly in their own transport modes. Instead, the use of sustainable fuel is assigned to a shipment for accounting purposes, thereby reducing emissions.
The Book and Claim model makes it possible to purchase emission reductions from the use of renewable fuels, even if they are not used directly in the ship of one's own freight. The CO2 savings from the use of LBM are assigned to specific shipments. This enables companies to book climate-neutral transports.
By using LBM made from certified waste-based feedstocks such as manure and slurry, a 100 percent reduction in CO2 emissions can be achieved compared to fossil fuels. The calculation is based on the Well-to-Wake (WTW) approach, which takes into account the entire life cycle from fuel production to combustion.
Well-to-Wake includes all emissions along the entire value chain of a fuel:
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are calculated in accordance with the internationally recognized ISO 14083 standard, and based on freight weight, transport distance and the ship's energy consumption.
Yes, LBM is certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC). Compliance with global standards is ensured by independent testing organizations such as the Smart Freight Centre (SFC).
After purchasing marine biofuel insets, customers receive:
The insetting program meets strict international standards, including:
Verification is carried out in three stages by independent auditors:
LBM is produced from waste and does not require any agricultural land or raw materials such as palm oil. Its use in shipping can significantly reduce CO2 emissions without compromising supply security. The Book and Claim model also allows for flexible and scalable integration into existing logistics processes.
