The port\u2019s Carbon Neutralization Project, launched in partnership with the Ambipar Group, will allow terminal customers to purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese credits, derived from forest conservation or reforestation, are certified by Ambipar,\u201d said Sergni Pessoa Rosa Jr, director of operations, technology and environment at Porto Itapo\u00e1.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe data we have available today relates to the macro region where we are located, so we need to better understand the specificities of this energy source in our municipality. It will serve as a basis for future projects, not only for Porto Itapo\u00e1 but for all entrepreneurs in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Energy policy<\/strong><\/p>\n By pioneering the carbon credit market, Porto Itapo\u00e1 said it wants to impact the entire logistics chain, part of its new energy policy ro reduce carbon emissions across the board.<\/p>\n In 2023, Porto Itapo\u00e1 changed its energy acquisition policy in the national system, opting to consume only renewable energy in new contracts. The transaction is certified by I-REC(e), a global tracking system for renewable energy attributes designed to facilitate reliable accounting of renewable energy attributed to the consumer.<\/p>\n Porto Itapo\u00e1 is also developing a solar energy capture project, with panels already installed for a specific study of solar light incidence at the port.<\/p>\n The port achieved, for the second time in 2023, the Gold Seal of the GHG Protocol, a program implemented in Brazil by the Center for Sustainability Studies at the Get\u00falio Vargas Foundation (FGVces) in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment.<\/p>\n Additionally, it has invested over R$ 25 million in new autonomous RTGs \u2013 the first terminal in South America to operate them \u2013 which consume up to three times less fuel than conventional ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Porto Itapo\u00e1 will be the first port in Brazil to include carbon credits in its operations, helping\u00a0reinforce the terminal\u2019s leadership in environmental issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3956,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,46],"tags":[1014,1358,267,130,148,675,1357,181],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-brazil","tag-carbon-credits","tag-carbon-offsetting","tag-emissions","tag-energy","tag-port-operations","tag-porto-itapoa","tag-renewable-energy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3957,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3955\/revisions\/3957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3955"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
