FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CAN THE RHEGREEN SERVICE BE BOOKED TO ALL DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE?

Yes, that is possible. We can offer RHEGREEN service on any long-distance haul. Ask your local contact person for the possibilities, or send an email to [email protected].

IS THE GREEN OPTION MORE EXPENSIVE?

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.

WILL RHENUS ALSO OFFER A COMPARABLE SERVICE FOR OCEAN FREIGHT?

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.

Terms & CONDITIONS

Conditions

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.

RHEGREEN is a carbon footprinting tool that allows clients to estimate CO₂ emissions on air freight routings and carriers before the shipment is booked.
The RHEGREEN tool estimates fuel use per flight per kg freight, which is converted into CO₂ emissions (factor 3.16). The estimation is based on the technical specifications of the aircrafts and operational data (flight distance, routing, aircraft type etc.) of third parties.
The RHEGREEN tool is based on capacity-based allocation, which assigns proportional emissions to passengers and belly cargo.
The scope is limited to air operations and will not include possible road legs (which may have flight numbers).
Shipments offloaded, by the airline, of the green flight, will be rebooked on the next available flight unless principal advises otherwise (by written instruction).
Rhenus Group and/or RHEGREEN cannot be held liable for last minute aircraft changes decided upon by the airline. These changes might be of influence on the CO₂ emissions of the cargo.
RHEGREEN aims to comply, where possible and realistic, with the industry methods such as the GLEC Framework and IATA RP1678.
The RHEGREEN tool is validated by an independent third party.
RHEGREEN is a trade name of Rhenus Group.
