What is a biofuel?
Biofuels such as BioLNG and HVO are renewable fuels produced from biomass or organic waste.
BioLNG (liquefied biomethane) is derived from the purification and liquefaction of biogas produced from organic waste, while Biodiesel is a liquid biofuel obtained from vegetable oils and other raw materials of organic origin; it can be blended with conventional fuel or used in pure form.
Biofuels allow for a reduction in atmospheric CO₂ emissions by a percentage that depends on their nature and production process.
What is HVO?
HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a second-generation biofuel obtained from vegetable oils or waste fats treated with hydrogen.
This process removes impurities and enhances fuel properties, making it similar to fossil diesel but with lower CO₂ and particulate emissions.
It can be used pure or blended with diesel without requiring any modifications to diesel engines.
Does using electric vehicles reduce emissions?
Using an electric vehicle reduces direct emissions of CO₂ and other pollutants compared to an internal combustion vehicle, but the overall environmental impact depends on the energy mix used to generate the electricity that powers the vehicle.
If the energy comes from fossil sources, overall emissions can still be significant. For a 100% reduction, it is necessary to use energy exclusively from renewable sources such as solar, wind, or hydropower.
How are emissions calculated?
Emissions generated by transport activities depend on the volume of freight transported—as weight increases, emissions increase—and on the distance to destination: the longer the route, the higher the emissions.
Furthermore, they depend on the type of fuel used. To be certified, emission calculations must follow the international standard defined by GLEC or ISO 14083.
How emission reduction works
At GRUBER Logistics, we reduce transport-related emissions through a combination of direct and indirect management systems. While some routes can be operated directly using low-emission fuels, such as advanced biofuels, others face infrastructural or geographical constraints.
To ensure consistent and transparent carbon footprint tracking, we apply a mass balance approach: sustainable fuels are purchased and utilized by GRUBER Logistics’ fleet, and their allocation is distributed across the entire transport network, including routes where direct refueling is not yet feasible.
This enables us to maximize the positive environmental impact of every liter of biofuel used, in compliance with European sustainability standards and related certification schemes.
