Problem
Freight forwarders face growing customer demand for lower-emission shipping options, but sourcing and documenting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and alternative marine fuel certificates is complex and operationally burdensome. Without a dedicated infrastructure, forwarders struggle to offer credible, verifiable low-carbon services without diverting resources from their core business.
Solution
Refine gives freight forwarders the infrastructure to offer low-carbon air and ocean freight under their own brand. The platform analyzes a forwarder's freight emissions by customer, lane, and mode, then provides an offer builder that shows the forwarder's cost and lets them set their own customer price. Once a customer accepts, Refine purchases the certificates after payment and handles all documentation, including registry references and fuel and emissions information. Customers receive a branded workspace to accept offers, access documentation, and export figures for sustainability reporting, while the forwarder maintains the customer relationship.
Target Audience
Primary customers are freight forwarders who want to offer low-carbon air and ocean freight services to their existing clients without building in-house certificate sourcing or documentation capabilities.
Features
- Emissions overview dashboard that analyzes freight emissions by customer, lane, and mode to identify high-priority accounts

- Book-and-claim chain-of-custody model that separates the environmental attribute from the physical fuel, enabling credible Scope 3 claims
