CASE STUDY: FIRST NET ZERO TERMINAL – DP WORLD’S ROTTERDAM WORLD GATEWAY
We are proud to report that in 2021, our terminal Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) in the Netherlands achieved net-zero operational status. RWG is highly automated and one of the most innovative container terminals in the world. It utilises green innovations and technologies, such as automatic stacking cranes that capture and regenerate their own energy, and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) that operate on green electricity. Since gaining control of the operation in 2016, DP World implemented several steps in line with its global decarbonisation strategy: to first reduce absolute emissions as much as possible, then focus on replacing fossil fuel with renewable energy resources, and finally purchase offsets for the hard to abate remaining emissions.
Our commitment is achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040, with intermediate target of 28% reduction of carbon footprint by 2030.
