In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations, Andy Golding, Director Strategic Services at Smart Freight Centre, sits down with Andrea Schoen, Chief Development Officer, to unpack the world of Low Emission Transport Services (LETS) in aviation.
What are LETS, and how can they help companies reduce emissions through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)? How does fuel attribution work, and what systems are needed to ensure credibility and avoid double counting?
Andrea explains how LETS can be implemented with integrity through proof of sustainability, carbon accounting, registries, and auditing, and how the simple idea of "repacking the emissions rucksack" can help make complex systems more understandable.
Key topics discussed:
- The role of SAF in aviation LETS
- How to attribute low-emission fuels to individual shipments
- Key requirements for credible, auditable LETS
- How to get started as a carrier, forwarder, or shipper
- Why LETS are a crucial mechanism for scalable aviation decarbonization
