Short answers on fuel, shipment emissions and carbon rules in logistics. To see them worked out with your own fleet data, book a demo.
Carbonova connects fuel purchases, TMS trip data, WMS warehouse activity and vehicle telemetry to CarbonOS, a platform of AI agents that calculates fuel use and emissions per route, vehicle, customer and shipment, flags drift in consumption and compares measures such as routing, modal shift and lower-carbon fuels by their effect on cost and CO₂. The same dataset produces the Scope 1 to 3 inventory and the shipment-level emissions data customers ask for.
Mostly from burning diesel and other fuels in trucks, ships, aircraft and trains, with a smaller share from the energy used in warehouses and terminals. Transport produced about 15% of global net greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 (IPCC, 2022), and trucks account for about a third of road transport emissions (IEA, 2025). Empty running, idling and poorly loaded trips are where fuel, and money, is lost.
The UK ETS has covered domestic maritime since 1 July 2026: ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above on domestic UK voyages, with the first surrender, for July to December 2026, due by 30 April 2028. For disclosure, UK-listed companies report against UK SRS on a comply-or-explain basis for accounting periods starting on or after 1 January 2027, with a one-year relief for Scope 3, where shippers report the freight they buy (FCA, 2026).
Yes. The government’s zero emission vehicle grant is applied as a discount on the price of eligible zero-emission trucks; for trucks over 26 tonnes the maximum discount is the lower of £81,000 or 40% of the upfront cost (GOV.UK, 2026). Carbonova measures fuel use and emissions per route and vehicle and compares fleet options, electric trucks included, by cost per tonne of CO₂ avoided, so operators can see which duty cycles to switch first.
The supply chain agent calculates the logistics emissions of each shipment from trip, fuel and load data, so a carrier can give every shipper the emissions of its own freight, which the shipper reports under Scope 3 categories 4 and 9 of the GHG Protocol. The same agent rates subcontracted carriers with supplier scorecards, so outsourced legs are counted with the same method as the carrier’s own fleet.
CarbonOS connects to TMS and WMS platforms, vehicle telemetry and IoT devices, invoice data and ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle, then normalises and versions the data. Every emissions figure keeps its lineage back to the trip or invoice, the version of the emission factor used and a change history, in line with the ISO 14064-3 verification standard, so customer reports and disclosures can be checked line by line.
