Decarbonisation
Committed to becoming fully carbon neutral by 2040.
In the following white paper, we will outline how we intend to reach our goal of becoming fully carbon neutral by 2040, and will dive into some of the tangible progress we have already made. We will talk about the key pillars of our strategy and think about next steps on the road to the future.
Svitzer is aiming to reduce the CO2 intensity of its entire fleet by 50% by 2030. This will pave the way for fully carbon neutral operations just ten years’ later in 2040, which is in line with A.P. Moller-Maersk’s ambition. This target will require all possible solutions to be investigated to ensure success.
“We are proud to unveil our strategy to become fully carbon neutral by 2040. We are not committing to these ambitions lightly and understand that it will require leadership and collaboration with our customers, suppliers, industry peers, and ports around the world to ensure success. Widespread changes and investment into the way we work, the fuel we burn, and the composition of our fleet will be required.”
Kasper Friis Nilaus, CEO
Our decarbonisation strategy is centred around three focus areas: Behaviour, Equipment and Fuel.
By adopting this strategy we can make changes immediately that impact in the short term, whilst developing solutions that deliver further reductions in the future. This is critical to ensure we investigate and mature the technologies we need to achieve our goal while bringing down emissions now.
