Energy Savings through Route Optimization
Discover how Global Warming Potential (GWP) data transforms supply chain decision-making. Explore interactive scenarios to understand climate impacts, evaluate alternative strategies, and build more sustainable, resilient, and climate-aware supply chains.
Challenge: Resilient Shipbuilding Supply Chain
Shipbuilding depends on a complex network of suppliers, fabrication sites, and shipyards, where heavy components such as hull sections, steel blocks, and engine systems are transported across multiple routes.
Every logistics choice affects cost, efficiency, and climate impact. This demonstrator helps explore:
- Which transport option minimize energy use and emissions?
- How do alternative routes and suppliers affect GWP?
- How big are the emission differences between routes?
- How can logistics be optimized while improving sustainability and resilience?
GWP Approach for Energy Savings
This demonstrator calculates GWP in CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e) based on:
- Transport mode (road, rail, air, sea, multimodal)
- Distance traveled between suppliers and shipyards
- Production energy consumption at facilities
By comparing scenarios, users can identify pathways toward more sustainable and resilient shipbuilding supply chains.
Energy savings and resilience: Energy-efficient supply chains reduce operational costs, lower emissions, and decrease dependence on volatile energy markets. By optimizing transport routes, production processes, and resource use, companies can improve flexibility and adapt more effectively to disruptions, while building more sustainable and resilient supply networks.
