GLEC Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting version 3.0 Chinese
Freight transportation and logistics activities currently contribute 8‒10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and demand for freight transport is expected to almost triple by 2050, according to the International Transport Forum.To meet the Climate Targets of the United Nations’ Paris Agreement, it is crucial to improve the efficiency of freight transport and reduce transport-related emissions. A concerted global effort is necessary to achieve goals. The GLEC Framework v3 supports you in your efforts and contribution to reaching these goals.
SFC Exchange Network Stable Release 1.0 Report
The SFC Exchange Network is a sociotechnical project aiming to establish a decentralized data exchange system for capturing logistics greenhouse gas emissions. It addresses challenges such as data gaps and interoperability issues by supporting organizations in acquiring reliable data and facilitating peer-to-peer data exchange. Building on previous SFC projects and integrating the iLEAP data model, it envisions achieving emissions transparency and promoting decarbonization within transport chains. Operating on the concept of dataspaces, the network enables secure and seamless data sharing, with stakeholders governing the ecosystem collaboratively.
Unlocking Your Carrier's Electrification Buy-in: A Guide with the 3rd Party Electrification Framework
Road freight is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Electrification offers a powerful solution, but carrier hesitancy due to market uncertainty, knowledge gaps, and resource constraints can stall progress. This guide equips freight buyers with the 3rd Party Electrification Framework (3PEF) – a roadmap to: align with carriers on the vision for electrification, build strong collaborative partnerships, and to offer operational support to ease the transition.

Measuring and Reporting the Carbon Footprint of Electric Freight Vehicle Operations: Whitepaper
This Whitepaper addresses the critical aspect of measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electric vehicles in logistics. As the adoption of electric freight vehicles gains momentum, particularly in the US and the EU, understanding and accurately accounting for their carbon footprint is crucial. This Whitepaper provides essential guidance for logistics professionals, offering nuanced insights into lifecycle emissions calculation, specifically tailored to electric vehicles and electricity usage. This resource acts as a valuable supplement to the ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework.
Cloud Report VII: Monitoring and Implementing Efficient and Zero-Emission Freight Transport
In order to optimise European investments in R&I projects in the field of transport and logistics, BOOSTLOG carries out a thorough evaluation process of concluded Research and Innovation (R&I) projects financed with EU-funds. This evaluation is conducted from the perspective of different key domains of transport and logistics (T&L), (defined by BOOSTLOG as “Logistics clouds”) to identify R&I gaps in T&L and prioritise the needs to be addressed in future research programmes, thus contributing to develop an innovation ecosystem for the logistics sector that also contributes to the EU policy objectives.
