Forwarders warned of trucking's Scope 3 emissions ticking 'carbon time bombs'
30 Apr, 2024
Freight forwarders could face ‘carbon bombs’ in their Scope 3 emissions reporting, to be rolled out next year, over high emissions at truck manufacturers.
Before it has even begun, the rollout of Scope 3 reporting is beset by emissions scandals, according to green lobby group Transport & Environment (T&E).
Like car manufacturers, trucking’s main source of emissions is the fuel burned, which can make up as much as 99.8% of their total. But previously, neither truck manufacturers, trucking companies or freight forwarders have been under any obligation to report these indirect Scope 3 emissions.
