Freight villages should calculate carbon footprint

04.06.2025
BREMEN. In March, Thomas Nobel, MD of Deutsche GVZ-Gesellschaft, recommended that freight villages in Germany calculate their carbon footprint in the future. Some freight villages, including the one in Bremen, have already begun the process. Two-thirds of freight village emissions are purportedly the result of transport, which is why this issuer is the most important lever in preventing CO2. Nobel is hesitant to define a deadline for climate neutrality at the freight villages. “We won’t be able to say by decree that we intend to achieve this goal by 2030 or 2035.”
