Our import partner Belco spells out the difference: around 80 grams CO2 per kilogram of coffee for the conventional container ship versus around 13 grams for the sailing cargo ship. If you include ship construction amortized over 25 years, it is 82 versus 21 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant to note:\u003c\/strong\u003e These numbers refer exclusively to sea transport, not to the whole coffee. The largest share of emissions occurs in cultivation. And sail transport is not CO2-neutral either: a sailing cargo ship also causes emissions. We demonstrably reduce part of the supply chain, we do not offset anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOnly one sailing cargo load per year\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sailing cargo ship transports a fraction of the volume of a container ship and sails according to wind and season, not on a timetable. Therefore Hochlandsonne is not available year-round and not in arbitrary quantities.
