A report, Approaching Zero Emission Trucking: Challenges and Opportunities. released earlier this month from the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) based on a roundtable earlier this year by the MIT FreightLab and the MIT Sustainable Supply Chain Lab, discusess identifying, measuring, and managing Scope 3 emissions; emission-reduction strategies, including zero-emission (ZE) trucking solutions. Three main takeaways are focused on in this article by Material Handling & Logistics:
- There is no one-size-fits-all solution or “silver bullet” for reducing emissions in the trucking industry.
- There is a need for greater standardization in how emissions, mainly Scope 3, are measured, allocated, and reported.
- Risks and barriers to adoption and implementation are difficult and costly to overcome.
