The world's first CO₂ reduction programme for air freight is available globally. Rhenus initiative, RHEGREEN, identifies and suggests the greenest option for cargo movements via air to reduce carbon emissions.
RHEGREEN is a calculation method based on available aircraft types, fuel consumption and distances to be covered. The emissions optimised air freight solution service is available free of charge and is able to determine which aircraft is the most efficient in terms of CO₂ emissions to a particular destination.
Corporate social responsibility is important, especially for future generations. With RHEGREEN, Rhenus shows how the logistics service provider takes sustainability seriously. The CO₂ reduction program is an initiative that Rhenus has developed for air freight shipments. You now have the opportunity to choose the most environmentally friendly option for the transport of your air freight to a certain destination at no extra cost.
RHEGREEN is a unique air freight service developed by the Rhenus Group. The service is also the world's first CO₂ reduction programme for air freight. RHEGREEN gives you the opportunity to choose the most efficient aircraft from a sustainability point of view. Not only can you reduce emissions, but you can also communicate this to your stakeholders within the framework of your CSR policy.
RHEGREEN is a calculation method based on available types of equipment, fuel consumption and distances to be covered. In short: RHEGREEN calculates which aircraft is most efficient in terms of CO2 emissions per route. An external party has validated the transparency and independency of the calculation method. This validation confirmed that by making the greenest choice, a CO₂ reduction of 10 to 40 percent per shipment can be achieved.
As a major international airline, we aim to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020. And we have embarked on many initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint. With operating the Airbus A350-1000, with 25 percent less fuel burn, we are delighted to offer Rhegreen on our flights.
Yes, that is possible. We can offer this service on any long-distance haul. Ask your local contact person for the possibilities, or send an email to [email protected].
Rhenus offers the green option regardless of the price level of the airline operating the most fuel-efficient aircraft to the destination. This can be the more expensive one, but may as well be the cheapest one.
Yes, that is possible. For example, if you choose the fastest option to your destination, this can also be the cheapest and/or greenest option. The possibility to book different services at the same time depends on the destination, the airlines offering flights to this destination and the aircraft types they operate to this destination. Currently, the airline pricing to a destination is not depending on the aircraft type they operate.
We currently focus on the implementation of RHEGREEN to all destinations and from all origins. However, we will explore the possibilities for ocean freight in the near future.
The purpose of the RHEGREEN tool is to estimate the amount of CO₂ emissions of cargo loads during a specific flight defined by the departure airport and the arrival airport.
