This transition supports the port\u2019s ambition to be carbon neutral by 2030 and strengthens collaboration with key maritime partners as Grimaldi Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cPort of Esbjerg has signed up for the \u201cGetting to Zero Coalition\u201d and thereby committed to becoming CO2 neutral by 2030, or in just five years,\u201d said Dennis Jul Pedersen, CEO of Port Esbjerg.<\/p>\n
\u201dWe have come far, but we depend on our customers transitioning to green biofuels to deliver on this ambition fully. We acknowledge that transitioning to biofuels comes with additional costs for our customers using our port facilities. But it is a necessary next step in the green transition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greener shipping<\/strong><\/p>\n By adopting HVO, Svitzer said it is contributing to a greener future for shipping in Esbjerg and beyond.<\/p>\n From 1 February, Svitzer tugs operating in Port Esbjerg will sail on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and customers using Svitzer\u2019s towing services in and out of the port will be subject to Ecofriendly Bunker Adjustment Factor (EcoBAF).<\/p>\n \u201cAt Svitzer, we are committed to decarbonising our operations which must be carbon neutral by 2040,\u201d said Mathias Jonasson, managing director, Svitzer Scandinavia.<\/p>\n \u201dWe can only achieve this ambition by working with like-minded partners and customers. I\u2019m both proud and excited that Port Esbjerg and Grimaldi Group share our commitment to creating cleaner operations to benefit local communities and nature in Esbjerg and the West Coast of Jutland.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The\u00a0Port of Esbjerg will take another step towards CO\u2082 neutrality when the marine service-company Svitzer switches to\u00a0biofuels in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,34],"tags":[40,624,26,513,361,346,362,11],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-green-shipping","tag-hvo","tag-hydrotreated-vegetable-oil","tag-port-emissions","tag-port-of-esbjerg","tag-port-vessels","tag-tugs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4998","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=4998"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5000,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4998\/revisions\/5000"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4998"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
