Green commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n Porto Itapo\u00e1\u2019s commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by its acquisition of the largest fleet of electric Terminal Tractors (TTs) in Brazil.<\/p>\n The 20 electric TTs, valued at R$20 million, are expected to save 858,000 litres of fuel annually and prevent the emission of 2,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.<\/p>\n These TTs, capable of carrying up to 65 tonnes each and operating for about ten hours on a full charge, will be charged using renewable energy sourced entirely from sustainable sources.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Porto Itapo\u00e1 received the international Renewable Energy Certificate (I-Rec) certification, confirming that 100% of the electricity used at the terminal in 2023 came from renewable sources.<\/p>\n The terminal\u2019s efforts in decarbonisation and net-zero ambitions continue to position it as a leader in environmental responsibility and sustainable growth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Porto Itapo\u00e1\u00a0has earned the prestigious Gold Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program\u00a0for its comprehensive Greenhouse Gas\u00a0(GHG) 2024 inventory, underscoring its dedication to decarbonisation and sustainable environmental management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4591,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,8],"tags":[1014,1750,1747,37,1746,1748,1357,1749,71],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-brazil","tag-brazilian-ghg-protocol-program","tag-certification","tag-decarbonisation","tag-greenhouse-gas","tag-i-rec","tag-porto-itapoa","tag-renewable-energy-certificate","tag-sustainability"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4590","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=4590"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4592,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4590\/revisions\/4592"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4590"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
