APMT Elizabeth begins using green power, hoping to cut emissions by 45%

As part of its decarbonisation plan, APM Terminals (APMT) Elizabeth in the Port of New York/New Jersey has started to use green power from a supplier that offers renewables such as wind and solar.

This is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 45% this year, slashing 7 kg CO₂/teu from the current 16 kg CO₂/teu intensity. This translates into an estimated emissions reduction of 8,000 tonnes of CO₂ in 2021.

Jon Poelma, managing director of APMT Elizabeth said: “Our decision to pursue green-sourced energy reflects our overall long-term company plans to decarbonise our terminal operations.
