摘要
Logistics networks need to conform to arising market trends and public requirements for greening freight transport through a series of Green Logistics Practices (GLPs). This study sets out to explore the use of fossil-free fuels as a GLP and possible influence on business strategy and system design. A literature review was conducted which concluded that literature about the use of fossil-free fuels is limited. An explorative interview study was conducted to further explore the use of biomethane among actors in logistics networks. Customers increasingly request green freight transport typically accepting moderately higher prices for green transport. Development of green logistics services is predominately driven by corporate stakeholders and internal initiatives, while public regulation appeared to have a weak influence. The study revealed new insights into how GLPs can relate to each other.
