Team Green Data decided to focus on the Fortune 500 logistics company United Parcel Service, a large player in the logistics market and an equally large CO2 emitter on the global scale. Given the large share of Scope 1 emissions in total gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, they chose to focus primarily on Scope 1 emissions solutions. For each of their solutions, Green Data have analyzed past data for revenues, profits, costs for renewable energy and technology for the past 4 fiscal years, as well as making projections of those metrics from 2024 to 2040.
Their solution involves a total adoption of sustainable aviation fuels, total ground transportation electrification, and 100% electricity from renewable sources by 2040 in order to reduce UPS’ scope 1 and 2 emissions to zero by 2040.
