APM Terminals to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emission target in 2040

January 15, 2022: Two new solar arrays installed in January 2022 at APM Terminals Barcelona are the first of five planned as part of an ambitious project that will provide 5.12 percent of the energy used by the terminal. The remaining electricity used at the terminal is supplied from renewable sources.

APM Terminals will bring forward its Net Zero greenhouse gas emission target to 2040, a decade ahead of its initial 2050 ambition. A 70 percent reduction in absolute (total) emissions has been set as an interim milestone for the period 2020-2030.

This is the most ambitious target set by any terminal operator to date.
This commitment builds upon the company’s existing strategic approach to decarbonisation and recent investment in a full suite of solutions to reduce its carbon footprint. It will also contribute to a broader target set by parent company A.P. Moller - Maersk to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2040 across all business entities.
