DHL and CMA CGM Launch Joint Biofuel Initiative for Ocean Freight Decarbonization
DHL Global Forwarding has partnered with CMA CGM to utilize 8,990 metric tonnes of UCOME second-generation biofuel, aiming for a reduction of approximately 25,000 metric tonnes of CO2e emissions for ocean freight through DHL's GoGreen Plus service. This initiative supports customers in decreasing the carbon intensity of their supply chains and promotes the transition to alternative marine fuels.
CMA CGM will bunker the biofuel across its fleet, aligning with DHL's Book & Claim method. The GoGreen Plus service facilitates up to 80% reduction in GHG emissions compared to conventional fuels. Both companies are committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, with CMA CGM having already reduced its carbon intensity by 57% since 2008. They will continue to explore further opportunities to enhance lower-carbon fuel utilization in international shipping.
