K2 Project Forwarding has a clear long term ambition to achieve net zero scope 3 emissions. Our approach prioritizes mitigation and reduction of emissions, supported by verified carbon insetting- and offsetting where elimination is not yet possible.
We actively work with our partners, including our owners, Peak CSL Group and deugro Group, to develop and implement more carbon-efficient transport solutions including but not limited to use of vessels running on dual fuel MGO and Blue/Green Ammonia and Methanol as well use of Rail, Electric Vehicles as well use of Biofuel and Liquified Biogas.
Maritime transport is included in the EU ETS from 2024, introducing carbon pricing for most international shipments. This development strengthens the incentives to adopt low- and zero-emission technologies and fuels, including electricity, biofuels, ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol.
K2 actively supports this transition and prepares our customers for transparent and compliant carbon-cost management.
We offer several verified pathways to reduce or neutralize transport-related emissions:
Use of biofuel on dedicated ships / voyages - Up to 90% CO₂ reduction
Use of Ships running on Green- / Blue Ammonia (From 2027 and onwards) - Up to 90% CO₂ reduction
Use of biofuel on domestic trailer services in Norway and Europe - Up to 90% CO₂ reduction
Use of Rail for transport of trailers with Europe as well Electric Veichles for local transport - Up to 95% CO₂ reduction
Insetting programs / Fuel Switch Program - Procurement of certified biofuel to inset CO₂ emissions.
Carbon offset programs - Carbon Offsetting Projects, verified through recognized international standards and third parties.
All programs are documented and third-party verified, providing our customers with credible and transparent reporting of their carbon footprint.
