1,890,000 Kg of Bio-LNG were used in 2023, and 2,400,000 Kg of the same fuel type were used since the beginning of 2024.

For the year 2023, using 1,890,000 kg of bio-LNG instead of an equivalent amount of conventional diesel, approximately 5,048.481 tonnes of CO2 emissions would be saved. This significant reduction highlights the potential environmental benefits of switching from conventional diesel to bio-LNG for fuel needs.

For the year 2024, using 2,400,000 kg of bio-LNG instead of an equivalent amount of conventional diesel would save approximately 6,410.769 tonnes of CO2 emissions. This demonstrates even greater potential environmental benefits by increasing the use of bio-LNG in place of conventional diesel.

The percentage of biofuel usage will increase when HVO100 is approved for public and commercial use. This approval will be confirmed by the German government by the end of the second quarter of 2024.

As part of its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Hegelmann is doubling down on its efforts to maximise resource use and reduce unnecessary consumption.

Energy-savings

We have upgraded our facilities with energy-efficient LED lighting systems to reduce our electricity consumption.

Waste management

In 2023, our waste management efforts led to the recycling of 100 tonnes of materials. That’s equivalent to over 2.5 fully loaded trucks worth of recycled materials.

During this month, we invited our colleagues from Germany, Poland and many other countries to showcase their sustainability habits. That included biking to work, using public transportation and turning off electronic devices when they are not in use.

To reduce the use of disposable cups for coffee or tea, our employees can benefit from Hegelmann thermo cups that can be reused over and over again. We also created a collection centre for old batteries to promote safe handling processes for hazardous waste.

We were also proud to see our German colleagues take action for “Clean City”, collecting waste in a local park and playground in Bruchsal.

Through the 2015 Paris Agreement, governments committed to limiting global warming to well below 2°C, with the ambition of limiting the rise of these temperatures to 1.5°C. The Science Based Target initiative was created to set a global standard for how companies should reduce their emissions and set targets to prevent the worst effects of climate change.

As part of our commitment to tackling climate change and its impacts, Hegelmann is aligning its decarbonisation strategy with climate science. We’re proud that the Science Based Targets Initiative approved our 2030 emission reduction targets.

Hegelmann Express GmbH has committed to reducing its scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. We have also committed to measuring and reducing our scope 3 emissions. This is our first step with the Science-Based Targets initiative.
