Fossil-free maritime freight – a low-hanging fruit more should pick

Maritime freight is a smart alternative to air freight, but often goes under the radar when companies map their Scope 3 emissions. The purchased goods often generate the most emissions, while the emissions of the freight, are proportionately low. But it is still good and important that there now are solutions to make maritime freights fossil-free. It is smart to pick a low-hanging first.

Löfbergs freights more than 36,000 tons of green coffee over the oceans every year. Transports that are now completely fossil-free according to Kajsa-Lisa Ljudén from Löfbergs and Matilda Jarbin from Scanlog.
