Biofuel

Reduce in your own supply chain.

The transport sector is one of the most polluting industries worldwide. Did you know that sea freight on conventional fuel oil is responsible for 3% of global CO2 emissions? That's at odds with global sustainability goals and the sustainability obligations companies must meet today. But there is good news: with Biofuels, you have a direct impact on CO2 emissions in your own chain.

Biofuels reduce emissions by 80% compared to conventional fuels. Biofuels can be used in existing ship engines without major modifications. In short: direct results!

Insetting vs. Offsetting

Biofuel or Rotra Green Footprint?

Two sustainability approaches are crucial in the pursuit of sustainability: insetting and offsetting. While both concepts aim to reduce the negative impact of business activities on the environment, they differ in their approach. We provide both for even more flexibility and results! With Offsetting, you reduce your climate impact to zero by offsetting outside your supply chain. With Insetting in the form of Biofuel, you have impact in your own logistics chain. In other words: direct sustainability within your own ecosystem!
