SGL partners with Hapag-Lloyd for ocean biofuel initiative

Scan Global Logistics (SGL) and Hapag-Lloyd announced their partnership with a multimillion-dollar ocean biofuel initiative. This collaboration underscores a big step forward in both companies’ shared sustainability ambitions.

As informed, with sustainability being a key aspect of both companies’ strategies, SGL and Hapag-Lloyd have embarked on an initiative to integrate biofuels into their shipping operations. By utilizing biofuel derived from renewable sources, both partners aim to support customers in substantially reducing carbon emissions and contribute to the global effort to combat climate change.

 The adoption of biofuels in maritime shipping marks a significant step in the industry’s journey toward achieving carbon-neutrality. Through investments in sustainable practices, SGL and Hapag-Lloyd are taking a big step for the logistics industry toward a more sustainable future.

Through this collaborative effort, SGL and Hapag-Lloyd aim to establish a long-term partnership for the further upscaling of sustainable transport solutions. This collaboration shows that it is possible to contribute to the joint efforts of decarbonizing the maritime industry and the logistic sector by using currently available biofuel solutions.

Additionally, Hapag-Lloyd has partnered with IKEA Supply Chain Operations to reduce carbon emissions from Hapag-Lloyd’s container shipments originating in Asia.

To note, Hapag-Lloyd launched the Ship Green product to offer its customers emission-reduced ocean transports. Based on biofuel, Hapag-Lloyd’s customers can choose between 100%, 50% or 25% CO2e emission avoidance.
