Freight Modeller
  • Export / Print
    • Print Current Page
Assess current and future transport costs.
Our Freight Modeller will be launched as an advanced beta version in April 2023.
Rising freight costs
Transport costs, across the resources sector, are expected to rise by at least 25% over the next 10 years due to carbon taxation, rising carbon compliance costs, higher energy costs and disruptions caused by changing work practices. New capex will be needed to survive.
AME's Freight Modeller allows you to create your own scenarios and export data into XLS.
Create your own scenarios
  • Edit our forecasted freight costs.
  • Modify individual freight component costs (such as diesel, labour, and maintenance costs).
  • Change transport methods (such as ship, train, or truck).
  • Each cost component can be remodelled on an individual site basis or an entire industry basis.
SHIFT TO LOW-CARBON FUTURE
Carbon pricing

Around 47 countries and 36 cities, states and provinces have adopted a price on carbon, either through direct taxes on fossil fuels or through cap-and-trade programs.

Together, the carbon pricing schemes covered 23.2% of global GHG emissions in 2022. About 100 countries are planning or considering carbon pricing mechanisms.

From 2026, the EU will implement a carbon tax on imported goods—known as the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM)—to make firms abroad pay the same CO2 price as European industry.

Shipping

Shipping emissions will soon be included in the EU’s Emissions Trading System (ETS). A shipping company will need to submit allowances for 40% of its emissions for 2024, rising to 70% for 2025 and 100% by 2026.

Around 42% of the global fleet calls at EU ports. Shipping is responsible for 3% of total CO2 emissions.

The IMO, the UN body that deals with maritime affairs, has also launched a new set of carbon emissions rules called IMO 2023. The IMO aims to reduce carbon emissions from shipping by 40% by 2030, from 2008.

Trucks

Globally, more than one-third of transport-related CO2 emissions, and 7% of total energy-related CO2, come from road freight transport. Trucks rely almost solely on oil-based fuels and are the second-largest source of global oil demand, following passenger cars.

So far, efficiency gains have been outpaced by growing demand for freight transport, which means GHG emissions have continued to rise. Improving efficiencies of vehicle and fuel technologies will be key to reducing overall emissions.

Trains

Railways produce lower GHG emissions than roadway and air transportation, which means that shifting trips from road and air to rail can reduce overall transport emissions.

Converting trains from diesel to electric or hydrogen powered engines will bring the largest GHG reductions in emissions. Blending biodiesel, improving efficiency measures and investing in digital technologies will also reduce environmental impacts and improve economic viability.
