Notes on carbon markets and industrial transition
About the author
Freight emissions analyst and contributing editor
Naledi has spent the last eleven years measuring what trucks and trains actually burn. She started on the depot floor in Germiston, reconciling fuel slips against trip sheets, and later moved into fleet reporting for a mid-size haulier running the N3 corridor between Johannesburg and Durban. That work taught her how quickly a clean spreadsheet falls apart once idling time, gradient and partial loads enter the picture.
She now writes the method notes and emission factor updates for Transport Carbon Review, and handles most of the corridor interviews with operators around Richards Bay and the inland consolidation depots. Her focus is on figures that survive an audit: defensible tonne-kilometre baselines, telematics data quality, and reporting routines that a small Gauteng or Western Cape haulier can keep running without hiring a full-time analyst.
She also reviews reader-submitted corridor tips and turns the useful ones into short field reports. If a claim does not hold up against the underlying data, she will say so in print.
Three recent pieces from the working file. Each one started as a question from a planner, a fleet engineer or a reporting officer who needed a number to hold up outside the room it was calculated in.
This page frames a concrete subject instead of using a generic heading. It explains what is being considered, why it matters in the site's context, and what detail a reader can expect next. The copy is intentionally plain and specific, so it reads like a real content item.
