Diesel-engine equipment and installations were switched over to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) at the start of January as part of London Gateway\u2019s sustainability drive.<\/p>\n
\u201cTransitioning from fossil diesel to HVO across our operations is critical to meeting our customer\u2019s supply chain demands,\u201d said Ahsan Agha, vice president port operations at DP World London Gateway.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe move demonstrates not only our goal of becoming a net zero carbon organisation by 2050 but also highlights our commitment to our customer\u2019s sustainability success as well as our own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Renewable biodiesel<\/strong><\/p>\n HVO, a renewable biodiesel derived from sustainable sources, will significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions at the hub and is expected to save around 8,300 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) in 2024 \u2013 equal to the annual emissions of more than 4,700 family cars.<\/p>\n DP World will deploy HVO at London Gateway throughout the entirety of 2024, with an expected 26% net reduction in the company\u2019s total carbon emissions from its fleet and installations by the end of the year.<\/p>\n The move follows DP World Southampton\u2019s transition to HVO 18 months ago, which resulted in carbon emissions being cut by 90%.<\/p>\n Sustainability benefits from the transition to HVO at London Gateway will be bolstered by the forthcoming \u00a3350m new fourth berth due to open this summer, which will be operated by eight new \u00a312m state-of-the-art fully electric straddle carriers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DP World has gone fossil free at both its UK logistics hubs with the removal of fossil diesel from its operations at London Gateway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3968,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,22],"tags":[40,249,118,130,26,513,515,23,71],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-dp-world","tag-electrification","tag-emissions","tag-hvo","tag-hydrotreated-vegetable-oil","tag-london-gateway","tag-port-equipment","tag-sustainability"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3967","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=3967"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3967\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3969,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3967\/revisions\/3969"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3967"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
