SAF sits at 0.3% of global jet fuel supply. ReFuelEU mandates 2% by 2025, 6% by 2030, 70% by 2050. Cost per tCO2-avoided: USD 300-800 for HEFA, USD 800-1,400 for synthetic. The honest take: SAF mandates are real, but SAF will not be the dominant aviation freight decarbonisation lever before 2035.

The January 2023 Guardian / Die Zeit / SourceMaterial investigation found ~90% of audited REDD+ credits did not represent real reductions. Verra responded with new methodology VM0048. What VM0048 actually changes, what it does not, and what freight operators should buy if they want a credible offset claim.

Voluntary carbon credit prices range from $2 to $200/tonne. Berkeley Carbon Trading Project found that 40% of offsets have quality issues. Here's how to tell the difference for your freight operations.

SBTi-aligned net-zero targets require 90% absolute reduction by 2050. For freight, that means solving last-mile electrification, ocean fuel, and air cargo — three problems with no ready answers. Here's what you can actually do today.

Transport accounts for 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC AR6). But the number that matters for freight companies isn't the global total — it's the 3.5 gigatonnes from freight alone, and how regulators are coming for it.

Ocean freight: 2.9% of global CO2. Road freight: 4.3%. Air cargo: 0.5% of flights but 3.5% of aviation emissions. The IMO's Fourth GHG Study and IEA data paint a specific picture — here's what it means for your Scope 3 reporting.

Slow steaming saves 30% fuel per voyage. Telematics-based route optimization cuts truck fuel by 10-15%. LED reefer upgrades pay back in 8 months. We ranked 12 freight decarbonization moves by ROI.
