Port of Aberdeen hopes to be the first in the UK to achieve netzero status by 2040 and has pledged to inject more than £55million over the next decade to make that a reality.
It is hoped that by 2040, the port will have zero emissions from vessels visiting the port as well as from the port’s own operations. The new strategy has been launched in what the port’s chief executive hopes will be “transformational change”.
The port says it is measuring performance against a “carbon intensity metric” which is based on gross vessel tonnage once the Aberdeen South Harbour development has been up and running for a year.
The introduction of a hydrotreated vegetable oil for port-owned vessels and equipment is also being trialled. More than £500 million has been invested in Port of Aberdeen’s infrastructure in recent years, including the major development at South Harbour.
