This document discusses reducing transportation CO2 emissions through pooling supply networks. Section 1 introduces the topic and notes that while consolidation is an old logistics concept, some companies have yet to collaborate to reduce environmental impact. Section 2 will review literature on transportation's role in supply chain emissions and limitations of current consolidation methods. The authors then analyze potential CO2 savings from pooling supply networks using real data from French retailers. Section 3 details two scenarios and resulting emissions reductions. Section 4 discusses preserving delivery frequencies while achieving savings, before concluding.
