GoodShipping is a business that aims to reduce scope 3 emissions of companies’ supply chains by facilitating a fuel switch to biofuel for freight shipments. The Biofuel alternatives are provided by its sister company GoodFuels.
GoodFuels provides biofuels made from certified waste and residual flows that can be used directly for heavy transport. This includes used cooking oil and waste from animal fats that cannot be recycled in a higher-quality manner.
“The use of biofuels leads to a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of transport without requiring changes to a shipper’s own operations. Net-zero transport impact, effectively reducing 100% of the greenhouse gas emissions, is achieved through an overallocation of biofuels as part of the booking. The process includes certification of the emissions reduction impact, which is audited by an independent third party,” claims GoodFuels.
Through the partnership, Forto says it will offer GoodShipping’s decarbonisation services for its customers.
The company’s infrastructure allows it to make biofuel available to customers supporting a variety of shipping volumes, locations, trade routes and cargo contracts. Its carrier partners and offering is said to extend Forto’s current biofuel program.
Commenting on the partnership, Michael Wax, CEO and Co-Founder of Forto, said:
“Enabling real change to reduce the environmental impact of the logistics industry is key to us at Forto. Our ultimate goal is to help customers make the sustainable transport option their default choice – and ensuring our biofuel program is as accessible as possible to our customers and their differing needs is a key driver of this.
