The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Smart Freight Centre* (SFC) have partnered to provide 'consistent and transparent CO2 emissions calculations' for air cargo shipments.
The two organisations will focus efforts on developing the cargo component of IATA’s CO2 Connect offering, which successfully launched its passenger version in 2022. The IATA CO2 Connect platform uses primary industry data to power highly accurate carbon calculations.
The collaboration with the SFC Clean Air Transport Program will promote a common methodology in CO2 emission calculations and ensure accurate and consistent CO2 calculations are distributed to the industry’s biggest shippers and freight forwarders in air cargo, supporting them with pre-shipment and reporting purposes.
* Smart Freight Centre (SFC) is a global non-profit organisation for climate action in the freight sector. Its goal is to track and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve a zero-emission global logistics sector by 2050 or earlier, consistent with 1.5° pathways. on the web: www.smartfreightcentre.org
