Building on companies' specific efforts to reduce the carbon intensity of particular transport journeys and warehouse activities, the project aims to take a broader view of product life cycles and the wider supply chain, investigating principal opportunities for emissions reduction across this spectrum. This is not to detract from the importance of using cleaner vehicles and handling methods, but to consider the freight sector’s efforts in the context of wider product emission reduction opportunities. Some of these emission reduction opportunities fall outside the direct activities of freight businesses, but trends in these areas are likely to drive changing demand for freight services in the future. The project works with several audiences to: Participants are keen to frame order-of-magnitude comparisons of the potential carbon gains from the major supply chain reshaping options. Costing is dynamic and a difficult exercise, but a working understanding of feasibility of various options is intended.
