Global framework for freight emission methodologies

Introduction to the Global
Logistics Emissions Council
July 2014
Smart Freight Centre
Sophie Punte – Executive Director
Erica Marcos – Global Freight Initiatives Coordinator
Alan Lewis – GLEC Manager
Imagine…
One universal and transparent way of measuring freight
emissions across the global multi-modal supply chain
that is used by companies to compare and select more
fuel efficient modes, carriers, technologies and other
actions and reduce costs.
What is the Global Logistics
Emissions Council?
Established end of 2013
Provides global common platform for
industry across all modes to deliver Global
Framework for Freight Emissions
Methodologies* and align industryled/backed initiatives
Led by the Smart Freight Centre
GLEC Action Groups were formed for each
mode and transhipment centers
*builds on existing methodologies and the outputs from the EU funded project
COFRET on Carbon Footprinting of Freight Transport

GLEC Steps
1. Develop Methodology Description
Standard
2. Develop Global Framework for
Freight Emission Methodologies
3. Road Map 2015-2017 to address
issues in Global Framework
4. Apply Global Framework to
representative freight supply chains
5. Drive acceptance and use of
Global Framework

Step 1. GLEC Methodology Description
Standard – overall structure
Emissions
Modes
Activity
(VOS)
Method
• Fuel life cycle
• CO2 / CO2e / Air Pollutants
• Air/Maritime/Road/Rail/IWW/Transhipment
• Coverage within each mode
• Specific trip
• Trip average
• Quantification
• Allocation
• Load factor
Step 1. Methodology Description Standard
Example for IATA RP 1678:
Emissions
•Tank to wheel
•CO2
Modes
• Air: Full freight aircraft
• Belly freight aircraft
Activity
• Leg-based or network-based (Network
based uses great circle distance)
• Trip average based on data of the previous
calendar year (actual fuel consumed)
(VOS)
Method
• Quantification: fuel based
• Allocation: mass (For belly cargo mass of
passengers includes mass allowance for
passenger seats, whether full or empty).
• Load factor: actual
Step 2. Global Framework for Freight
Emissions Methodologies
Creating 1 methodology for each mode / transhipment
centers
Example for air:

Step 2. Global Framework for Freight
Emissions Methodologies
Creating Global Framework that combines modes and
transhipment centers

Step 3. Road Map 2015-2017 to address
issues
Identify and prioritize issues
Agree on practical actions with clear timelines and
responsibilities
Issues within mode
Issues across modes
EXAMPLE ONLY
EXAMPLE ONLY
Air: no standard reporting
Transfer centers not included
format
for most modes
Maritime: short sea freight
WTW factors (electricity /
not included
biofuels etc.)
Rail: no standard trip
Approach to CO2e factors
descriptors
Relevance and inclusion of
Road: allocation units
other (local) pollutants

Step 4. Apply Global Framework to
representative freight supply chains
EXAMPLES ONLY
Source: NTM and EcoTransIT
Step 5. Drive acceptance and use of
Global Framework
Building on
existing efforts
Existing
standards,
methodologies
and tools
COFRET
outputs
Industry and
expert input
Stakeholder
