The Swedish logistics company will see the Swedish coffee maker's shipments carried by vessels using bio-liquefied natural gas (bioLNG) per the mass-balanced approach.

This move will reduce Löfbergs' sea freight carbon footprint by 100%. The company, which will pay for bioLNG, imports some 36 thousand tonnes of raw coffee each year.

Kajsa-Lisa Ljudén, Head of Sustainability at Löfbergs, commented:

Biogas costs more than fossil fuels, but we think we cannot afford to do otherwise. We have to reduce emissions across the entirety of our value chain. That we are financing the fuel switch 100% means that we see a functioning solution, which will hopefully contribute to others making a change, too.

Matilda Jarbin, Scanlog's Chief Sustainability & Communications Officer, added:

Sea transportation has long found itself under the radar. It is, therefore, important that companies like Löfbergs dare to go further, seeing it's possible to reduce emissions here & now. We hope this will inspire other firms, speeding up the necessary transition within the transport sector.
