During the certification period, CO2 emissions were reduced even further at reportedly the world\u2019s first ever climate-neutral terminal, says Jan Hendrik Pietsch, head of sustainability at HHLA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith its 2022 audit, CTA received climate-neutral certification for the fifth year in a row,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the past year, CO2 emissions have been reduced significantly to approximately 7,800 tonnes \u2013 so by 34 per cent.\u201d<\/p>\n
These reductions were achieved in part by continuing to switch over to electric automated guided vehicles, says the terminal. By the end of 2023, the entire fleet of AGVs at CTA will be switched from diesel to fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n
In addition to the AGVs, the 14 container gantry cranes for seaborne handling, the 52 fully electric portal cranes in the container storage blocks and the four rail gantry cranes are also powered by green electricity.<\/p>\n
CO2 emissions that cannot yet be avoided are offset with compensation certificates, enabling HHLA to support climate-friendly projects that are certified to the highest standard of voluntary emission reduction. The aim is to reduce the amount of offsetting and ensure that all production is climate-neutral across the entire HHLA Group by 2040.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
