The partners have introduced HVO100, a sustainable alternative fuel made from renewable raw materials, to power port shunting operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cDecarbonisation cannot be achieved in isolation; it demands collaboration and innovation across the supply chain,\u201d said Johan Pijpers, ONE\u2019s manager for inland operations procurement (Europe & Africa).<\/p>\n
\u201cOur work with QTKR shows that practical solutions like biofuels can deliver meaningful results today, while laying the foundation for more ambitious steps in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Immediate decarbonisation<\/strong><\/p>\n The partners said that HVO100 can reduce lifecycle CO\u2082 emissions by up to 90% compared with diesel while significantly lowering particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions, offering an immediate pathway to cleaner port handling.<\/p>\n Fred Groenendijk, CCO at QTKR, added that the collaboration goes \u201cbeyond logistics,\u201d highlighting how shared expertise and aligned sustainability strategies can accelerate the transition to low-carbon operations.<\/p>\n \u201dTogether, we are taking concrete steps towards reducing CO2 emissions by aligning our strategies, sharing expertise and driving a sustainable way of working across the transport chain.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dONE and QTKR have proven that smart, trustworthy collaboration is essential to successfully reducing CO2 emission across the supply chain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The partners are now preparing for the next phase of their collaboration, which will see the introduction of a dedicated fleet of electric trucks (e-trucks) for port operations.<\/p>\n These e-trucks will serve alongside the HVO100 trucks, handling container movements across terminals, further cutting emissions to establish a long-term platform for zero-carbon logistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" QTerminals Kramer Rotterdam (QTKR) and Ocean Network Express (ONE) have achieved a major milestone in port decarbonisation, cutting 500 tonnes of CO\u2082 in six months through a new biofuels initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5750,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[40,1729,1960,118,2304,1808,2305,152],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-biofuels","tag-e-trucks","tag-electrification","tag-hvo100","tag-port-decarbonisation","tag-port-handling","tag-port-of-rotterdam"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5749","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=5749"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5751,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5749\/revisions\/5751"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5749"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
