Freightera continues to build the freight transportation marketplace with a mission to transform the whole industry, releases the Green Future of Freight infographic<\/b><\/h2>\n

Vancouver, BC Jan 30, 2017. Freightera, the Expedia-like freight shipping marketplace, continues to work on its mission to transform freight transportation from a large polluter to a clean and sustainable industry. Freightera customers will soon be able to choose their freight carriers not just by traditional and mission-critical price and shipping time, but by lower emission options as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Freightera is making partnerships to feature lower-emission carriers and all major North American rail companies on its platform. Rail is currently the least polluting option for long-haul freight.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a part of its thought leadership mission in green freight, Freightera released an infographic summarizing the transition process to low-emission, sustainable freight transport. \u201cFew may realize it, but freight transport is already producing 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions,\u201d noted Freightera\u2019s founder and CEO Eric Beckwitt, \u201cwithout change, under business as usual, freight transport emissions are predicted to grow to 50% of global emissions by 2050.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The new infographic<\/a> summarizes current air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from freight transport, projected growth by 2050, and shows how we can make the transition to low and zero-emission transport. It illustrates the article Mr. Beckwitt first authored for the 2016 G7 Summit version of Climate Change: The New Economy (<\/span>on the green future of freight<\/span><\/a>), and the following invitation to COP22, the larger presentation at the UN 2016 Climate Change Conference in Marrakech, Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe key to emissions reductions is a multistep, pragmatic process,\u201d Eric Beckwitt continues, \u201cOn land, filling empty trucks, shifting long-haul freight to rail, and full use of existing emissions reduction technologies can reduce CO2 emissions 30-65%. On the oceans, operational measures, switching to low sulfur fuel, and current scrubber technology can immediately decrease ship energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and NOx and SOx emissions by up to 75%\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Longer-term, solar and wind-powered electric rail; wind, solar and hybrid electric cargo ships, and sustainable electric trucks offer the best options for sustainable, zero-emission freight transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n
