FincoEnergies and Scan Global Logistics (SGL) are expanding their collaboration to roll out a biofuel-based decarbonization solution for road transportation.
The initiative, known as Biofuel Swap, enables logistics customers to reduce emissions through the use of certified HVO100 fuel without requiring changes to vehicles, infrastructure or day-to-day operations. The solution is designed to provide verified and scalable CO₂e reductions across global supply chains.
The partnership builds on a pilot project launched in 2023, which tested insetting approaches for road transportation. Following that trial, the companies are moving ahead with broader implementation of the Biofuel Swap model.
Martin Andersen, global head of sustainability and ESG at Scan Global Logistics, said, “FincoEnergies is a leading expert in biofuel solutions. Their expertise and reliable supply enable us to offer a high-quality solution to our customers that can help reduce road transport emissions easily, immediately, and worldwide.”
The Biofuel Swap model is based on a book-and-claim system, in which HVO100 fuel is physically used in trucks operating in the Netherlands, while the associated emissions reductions are allocated to customers elsewhere. This approach is intended to address the limited availability of renewable fuels across transportation networks and the challenges of deploying them directly within all fleets.
According to the companies, the system provides traceable and verified emissions data that can be integrated into customer reporting, including Scope 3 emissions.
Sophia Carrillo Beeck, senior commercial manager for carbon management at FincoEnergies, said, “Biofuel Swap makes emission reductions tangible and traceable. With Scan Global Logistics’ worldwide customer base and global network, the Biofuel Swap solution will have a broad reach.”
The companies said the solution is aimed at closing the gap between decarbonization targets and practical implementation in the road transportation sector, which remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels.
HVO100 used within the program is produced from waste and residue streams and certified under EU-approved schemes such as ISCC, RSB or REDcert. It can deliver up to 90% well-to-wheel CO₂e reductions compared with fossil diesel, according to the companies.
Biofuel Swap will form part of SGL’s broader low-carbon transportation offering, which also includes ocean biofuel, sustainable aviation fuel and electric vehicle solutions.
