Energy efficiency and GHG emission intensity values for logistics sites

In 2021, we have established the market study "Energy efficiency and GHG emission intensity of logistics sites", launched within the research initiative "German, Italian & Latin American consortium for resource efficient logistics hubs & transport".
The research bases on previous studies in Italy, Germany and Latin America and aims at studying the energy efficiency and GHG emission intensity of logistics sites at global scale. We considered logistics sites such as warehouses, distribution centres, transhipment sites, and terminals; examining (i) the solutions in use to reduce the environmental impact, and (ii) consumption and GHG emissions related to the site as well as to the activities performed. Our previous research outlined particular interest from industry and the work is accompanied by and supports the ongoing discussions related to international standardisation of GHG emissions quantification of logistics chains (planned ISO 14083).
During the webinar, we will share and discuss the following
- GILA project introduction
- Overall results of the market study (focus warehouses, distribution centres, transhipment sites)
o Approach for carbon accounting
o Data base
o GHG emission results and KPIs
o Energy efficiency measures
o Sustainable asset tool: Dashboard for logistics hubs
- GILA’s roadmap 2023 and possibilities to participate (e.g. market study 2023, pilot studies)
The webinar is jointly organized by the GILA partners Politecnico di Milano, GreenRouter, Universidad de los Andes and Fraunhofer IML.
