Ranked #1 by Drewry for both ocean and air freight emissions calculations. Our Supply Chain Sustainability Platform brings a new level of efficiency and precision to emissions measurement on a shipment/order level. Unlike solutions that rely on industry averages while claiming "primary data" use, we capture actual fuel consumption data from your transportation operations.

Digital Twins for all modes of transportation.
Vessel and Aircraft: We track actual distances, utilization, and precise operating conditions through our Satellite data and fusing it in our advanced Digital Twin technology. Connectivity with Carriers also enables us to hassle free collect your shipment data on your behalf.
Trucks: We track real fuel consumption via our Digital Twins or telematics/ ELD data.

This ensures you get the most accurate picture of your transportation emissions on a shipment/order level. Simply connect once with VesselBot, and we handle everything else automatically, collecting and processing data from your entire carrier network through our API integrations or user-friendly platform.

Why We Are Different?

Because Primary Data is Key to Accurate GHG Accounting

Understanding the GHG Protocol

The GHG Protocol is the most widely used international standard for corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and reporting. It provides a framework for businesses to measure and manage their GHG emissions across their value chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3).

Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including both upstream and downstream emissions.

Calculations Based on Global Average Methodologies hinder effective decision-making

Industry-standard calculation methods
overestimate emissions by up to 131%

Comparative analysis of emissions calculation methods, demonstrating VesselBot's accuracy over traditional approaches.

Spend-based methodology overestimates emissions by 2.3 times (131.07% increase), resulting in overreporting. Similarly, the GLEC framework overestimates emissions by 2 times, (103.67% higher than VesselBot's calculation), while the GHG Protocol (using DEFRA factors) also shows a substantial overestimation of 1.5 times, which is 45.58% higher than VesselBot's calculation.

Why Primary Data Matters

Accuracy and Reliability

Primary data, collected directly from the company's operations or value chain partners, is considered more accurate and reliable than secondary (industry average) data.

Relevance

Primary data reflect the company's specific activities and circumstances, making it more relevant for decision-making and target setting.

Performance Tracking

Primary data allows companies to track effectiveness of their GHG reduction initiatives and demonstrate progress over time.

Stakeholder Engagement

Using primary data enhances transparency and credibility in reporting, building trust with stakeholders such as investors, customers and regulators.

Cost and Resource Efficiency

Collecting primary data can be time consuming and resource-intensive. VesselBot streamlines this process, automating calculations and reducing the burden on your team.

  • The GHG Protocol emphasizes the importance of using primary data for accurate and transparent GHG accounting.
  • VesselBot seamlessly collects and enriches your shipment data with primary data through direct integration with your Logistics provider's systems to enable the utmost precision in emissions calculations in real-time, enabling you to make informed decisions, optimize your logistics network, and achieve sustainability goals.

Industry-Leading Accuracy Across All Modes

Our methodology delivers unmatched precision through real-time and near-real-time primary data collection and proprietary Digital Twin technology.

How we measure

While we prioritize primary data collection through our extensive network of carriers and telematics providers, we understand that gaps can exist. Here's how we handle those situations, following the GHG Protocol's established methodology hierarchy:

  Shipment-Specific Method (Our Gold Standard)
  • We gather actual shipment data directly from your transportation providers and Telematics/ELD systems related to the execution of each shipment
  • We collect satellite geospatial and weather data, along with other relevant information, to enhance the carrier's data
  • Our platform automatically collects data from all sources
  • We utilize our Digital Twin technology to accurately measure emissions for each shipment and voyage based on fuel consumption.

Our methodology ensures the highest possible accuracy for your emissions calculations.

  Hybrid Method (Our Advanced Solution)

When supplier data has gaps, we employ GHG Protocol's recommended hybrid approach:

  • We combine available supplier activity data with our proprietary modeling

Our models are constructed using millions of real primary data points we obtain from Telematics/ELD or other sources. These models are continuously updated and are highly detailed, reaching the level of specificity for geographic area, mode of transportation, carrier, vehicle type and size, engine characteristics, carrying capacity, and more.

  Average-Data Method (Our Enhanced Alternative)

We use industry-standard average-based emissions factors, such as those provided by DEFRA, BEIS, and GLEC, only as a last resort.

When we must use them:

  • We apply the most appropriate emission factors from recognized standards
  • We maintain complete transparency about which portions of your emissions profile use this method

Our goal is to minimize reliance on such factors while ensuring comprehensive coverage of your entire transportation footprint.

  Spend-Based Method
We never rely on this least accurate approach used by many competitors.
