FAQs

Do you have questions about implementing Book & Claim as a Cargo Owner? We've compiled answers to common inquiries based on our experience helping enterprise clients achieve verifiable decarbonization and manage their supply chain emissions.

Is Book & Claim just a bridging approach while waiting for electrification?

The fastest decarbonization strategy is not “either alternative fuels now or wait for battery-electric vehicles”. It is upgrading what you run today while scaling what you will run tomorrow. Instead of changing programs every few years, Book & Claim provides a consistent framework that can evolve with the technology mix–from fuels to electrification and beyond.

Is reporting Book & Claim in ESRS possible?

Yes, reporting Book & Claim reductions is possible under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), specifically within E1 Climate Change. The key is transparency and the use of market-based mechanisms that are verifiable. shipzero provides the necessary "Chain of Custody" documentation and audit trails to substantiate your claims in your ESG reporting, ensuring alignment with the disclosure requirements for Scope 3 emissions.

What is the tCO₂e price for Book & Claim?

The price per tonne of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) varies depending on the type of fuel (e.g., HVO, electric, bio-LNG) and the market availability of the specific insets. Unlike a fixed tax, this is a market-driven price based on the premium of the low-emission fuel and the operational costs. shipzero helps you navigate this market to find the most cost-effective low-emission profiles for your budget.

Is Book & Claim greenwashing?

No, this is the opposite: shipzero’s Book & Claim system is built on strict "Chain of Custody" models, preventing double counting and ensuring that every claim is backed by a physical reduction in emissions that actually occurred within the freight sector. We provide a transparent, auditable trail that proves your investment directly resulted in lower emissions.

Is Book & Claim Carbon Offsetting?

No, Book & Claim is "Carbon Insetting" — it involves reducing emissions directly within the logistics sector (your value chain). You are funding the use of sustainable fuels in actual transport operations, thereby reducing the carbon intensity of the freight industry itself.
