In Spain, DB Schenker has signed an agreement with Avolta to use marine biofuel for the transport of goods between Europe and the United States. The agreement is DB Schenker’s first contract of this kind in the Spanish market and places Avolta among the top pioneering companies in low-emission shipping.
From now on, all containers that Avolta moves with DB Schenker on this route will be shipped with low emissions through the application of waste-based marine biofuels and additional units of sustainable marine biofuel to achieve additional compensation of the biofuel’s upstream emissions. This biofuel switch could prevent over 150 tons of CO2e Well-to-Wake emissions per year, based on Avolta’s 2023 container volume on this route.
This agreement, and others that are expected to be closed in the coming months, is possible thanks to the DB Schenker Group’s commitment to the purchase of marine biofuel, which it makes available to its customers around the world who wish to make use of it in their maritime transport.
