Their diverse fleet, with various capacities and numerous use cases, created a multitude of emission calculation scenarios. Accurately accounting for emissions further requires consideration of other factors like load capacity and unladen weight, as well as increasing complexity.
Compounding these issues, the lack of readily available and transparent industry tools or datasets made calculating emissions a hurdle.
Effectively communicating Varuna's environmental impact to their clients remained a task. The lack of real-time data and a user-friendly tool hampered Varuna's ability to translate its sustainability efforts into clear and actionable information for clients.
