APM partners DONG in Aarhus to reduce energy consumption

An expected reduction in energy consumption through improved lighting and electricity usage will cut APM’s C02 emissions by 10% annually. Equally important, APM will purchase green energy produced from offshore wind farms to drive operations in Denmark’s busiest container Port of Aarhus.

“This partnership reflects our sustainability plan to reduce energy consumption and drive C02 reductions. Other initiatives include fuel efficiency improvements in straddle carriers and reachstacker equipment,” said Johan Pedersson Uggla, managing director APM Terminals Cargo Service.

DONG Energy’s executive VP Lars Clausen added “Competition is very tough when it comes to being the preferred energy supplier for a large and renowned company such as APM Terminals. So we are proud that we succeeded in establishing a strategically important relationship.”
