HMM has introduced the Supply Chain Carbon Calculator for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The carbon calculator provides clients with analytical data on GHG emissions generated from place of receipt to place of delivery, including door locations.
With this digital platform, HMM clients can help better manage their emissions for all container flows and choose the most eco-friendly mode of transport.
It is also aligned with the industry-accredited methodology for inland and ocean transportation.
The ocean-leg emissions have employed the Clean Cargo methodology, which provides a set of industry average emission factors for maritime container transport per trade lane.
For inland transport, emissions are calculated in line with the Global Logistics Emission Council framework, a globally recognized methodology for reporting logistics GHG footprint.
With the launch of the carbon calculator, the emission would be expressed by selecting the emission type between Well-to-Wake and Tank-to-Wake.
Shipping clients can mark the estimated emissions on the bill of lading, and the relevant certificate can be issued based on actual transport data.
The South Korean national flag carrier said it expects the digital tool to “create synergy” with its Green Sailing Service, assisting customers in reducing their Scope 3 GHG emissions by sailing with low-carbon fuels.
“There has been a growing interest in sustainability and green transportation solutions, accelerating the need for reducing emissions. We will continue to seek a better way to ensure full visibility of tracking carbon footprint, thereby making significant headway in reaching carbon neutrality,” an HMM official said.
