Policy and Regulatory Impact on Emission Reduction

In this episode, we look at how European policy is shaping freight transport decarbonisation in practice. Our guest, Fernando Liesa (ALICE), discusses regulatory fragmentation, the impact of policy uncertainty on investment decisions, and why enabling conditions, business case clarity, and coordinated frameworks are essential to translate policy ambition into real-world implementation.

Overcoming Challenges in Multimodal Emission Accounting

In this episode, we look at how multimodal emission accounting can become more practical and trustworthy. Our guests, Sascha Klefenz (ISCC) and Quintin Barnes (Smart Freight Centre), discuss mass balance, book and claim, and why verification, primary data, and consistent emission factors matter for comparable reporting across modes.

Innovations in emission calculation

In this episode, we take a closer look at the complexities of emissions reporting from the perspective of companies on the ground. We explore how businesses are interpreting evolving requirements like CSRD and ISO 14083, the practical challenges they face when calculating emissions, and what they need to make emission factors more applicable, reliable, and usable in real decision-making.

Introduction to sustainable emission factors

In this episode, we explore why emission factors are key to decarbonizing freight and logistics. We discuss how dynamic emission factors improve accuracy in carbon calculations and how comprehensive life cycle assessments (LCAs) shape the future of energy use in transport.
