Torvald Klaveness subsidiary ZeroLab has announced it has completed a milestone project with CBH Group, delivering its first detailed analysis of the Australian grain exporter’s GHG emissions from shipping in 2021.
The deal expands ZeroLab’s foothold in the grains industry as it continuously strives to reduce CO2-emissions from global shipping across industrial sectors.
‘We are delighted to conclude this initial evaluation with CBH in quantifying their emissions from shipping,’ said Morten Skedsmo, Head of ZeroLab. ‘CBH has a strong reputation when it comes to sustainability, and better understanding the carbon footprint of their supply chain will help them on their journey towards better sustainability outcomes.’
The work focused on CBH’s ‘Scope 3’ emissions from shipping, also known as indirect supply chain emissions, and was powered by Klaveness Digital’s CargoValue platform - a solution that provides industrial companies with a digital twin of their seaborne supply chain.
‘As our customers increasingly care about the carbon footprint of grain, it is important for us to understand the role of shipping in our supply chain emissions, and the data-driven insights provided by ZeroLab will support our overall sustainability goals,’ added Pia van Wyngaard, Head of Chartering at CBH Group.
As previously reported, in January, CBH Group, Australia’s largest co-operative, partnered with dry bulk operator Oldendorff Carriers to conduct what it claims was the first biofuel trial on a grain vessel exporting from Australia.
