How do you not only imagine, but bring the reality of net-zero ports closer? 🍃 🔌
It is fascinating to learn about different components of #decarbonization pathways for large and complex industries. In our case of global #logistics, container handling equipment (imagine large scale cranes and heavy machinery) is a critical enabler of port operations, accounting for 90% of global trade across the world’s busy 940 container ports. In 2020 alone, these global fleets enabled the transportation of 815 million TEUs but were also responsible for emitting 10-15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, comparable to the annual emissions of Slovenia.
The pathway to decarbonization lies in transition to battery and hydrogen-electric fleets, making these new solutions and technologies more competitive, affordable and accessible than diesel today. We cannot do it alone, and collective action by the entire ecosystem - operators, port authorities, policy makers and customers is needed. It is also the impetus behind post competitive collaborations like this one ⬇
Look forward to accelerating more multi-stakeholder collaborations of this type at COP28 UAE #cop28
The global shipping industry is on the brink of a major shift and decarbonising container handling equipment is critical to this. APM Terminals and DP World have launched a collaborative study evaluating the opportunities and challenges associated with the electrification of container handling equipment.
