Welcome to SFC’s Library
The SFC Library is your central resource for a wide range of documents essential for understanding and applying our standards and practices. Here, you will find guidance and normative documents, as well as reports, whitepapers, templates, forms, procedures, and other key publications that support sustainable freight management. All of our materials are protected by copyright, and while we allow their use in certain circumstances, we retain full rights over their content.

The use of SFC normative (indicated with “specification” in title) documents is more controlled, particularly for Validation and Verification Bodies - VVBs. The rules for their use are described in the same document mentioned above.
Technical Note 1- From Demonstration to Deployment at Scale: A Strategic Framework for Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Development
This technical note is the first in a series examining how India can scale zero-emission freight through corridor-based ecosystem development. It focuses on demand aggregation as the starting point for scaling up and presents a framework to identify and prioritize freight corridors for large-scale electric truck deployment, using the Bengaluru-Mumbai corridor as a case study. The subsequent notes will build on this foundation to examine charging infrastructure readiness, grid integration, RE opportunities, and deployment pathways for corridor-level freight electrification.
Deep-sea Ro-Ro Ship Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity Calculation Methods
This document defines the methods for calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensities for deep-sea roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) shipping under the Global Ro-Ro Community (GRC). It specifies the data requirements, calculation principles, and reporting procedures needed to ensure consistent, transparent, and verifiable results across participating carriers.

Guidance for Cargo Owners: Calculating Scope 3 Emissions for Deep-Sea Ro-Ro Shipping v1.0
This guidance explains how cargo owners (OEMs) can calculate Scope 3 greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions associated with deep-sea roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) shipping using Global Ro-Ro Community (GRC) emission intensities factors (EIFs).
Application of ISO 14083:2023 and the GLEC Framework for the Post & Parcel and E-commerce Sector
This sector guidance describes the approach to be followed to apply ISO 14083 and the GLEC Framework in the context of post and parcel and e-commerce.
State of Road Book and Claim-Market Insights and Learnings (2026)
This white paper, produced by the Book and Claim Community Road Working Group and drafted by Smart Freight Centre in collaboration with AllChiefs, documents the current state of road freight book and claim with four primary objectives: defining the key elements of a credible intervention; mapping implementation challenges and their solutions; showcasing best practices from leading adopters; and identifying pathways for continued market evolution. It draws on industry frameworks, normative standards, and the practical experience of carriers, LSPs cargo owners, fuel suppliers, and registry operators across Europe and North America.
