An emission efficiency tool for air freight is now available globally. RHEGREEN identifies and suggests which aircraft is the most efficient in terms of CO₂ emissions for cargo movements.
RHEGREEN is a calculation method based on available aircraft types, fuel consumption and distances to be covered. This easy-to-use tool is completely free of charge for customers. We have a selection of aircraft for you to choose from based on CO2 efficiency. You can select a more CO2 efficient aircraft to lower the emission of your cargo.
Corporate social responsibility holds significant importance, particularly when considering the welfare of future generations. RHEGREEN serves as a prime example of our genuine commitment to sustainability. As a logistics service provider, Rhenus has developed the CO₂ efficiency tool for air freight. This initiative empowers our customers to determine which aircraft is the most efficient in terms of CO₂ emissions and avoid up to 40% of CO2 emissions per shipment, all without incurring any additional costs.
RHEGREEN is a unique air freight service developed by Rhenus in the Netherlands. 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 provides the RHEGREEN service without regard to the pricing tier of the airline operating the most fuel-efficient aircraft destined for the chosen location. This could encompass airlines with higher costs, but it could equally encompass those with lower costs.
We're currently focusing on the implementation of RHEGREEN to air freight shipments for 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.
