French shipping company CMA CGM announced new services to help operators reduce their environmental footprint. The ACT with CMA CGM+, including four services, seeks to help customers analyze their environmental impact, use cleaner alternative energy sources and make their cargo carbon neutral.
Specifically, the first two services, CLEANER ENERGY LNG and CLEANER ENERGY BIOFUEL, enable operators to choose to transport their goods using LNG or biofuel, respectively.
In the first case, they could eliminate all atmospheric pollutants and significantly reduce GHG emissions, while in the second, they could opt for a transport solution using biofuel generated from used cooking oil. These alternative fuel-based solutions can unlock reductions in GHG emissions of 15%-85%.
In addition, the other two solutions enable operators to analyze and offset environmental footprints.
Firstly, ECO MONITOR helps them to keep track of their environmental footprint in real time and take action more easily using this data. This service will be rolled out from 2021.
Secondly, with POSITIVE OFFSET, they can offset their emissions by contributing to Gold Standard carbon sequestration projects involving local communities.
The CMA CGM Group has always considered its business performance as intrinsically linked to its social and environmental performance. We have made ground-breaking decisions advancing the shift to cleaner energy and helping push the whole industry forward. Through ACT with CMA CGM+, we are sharing our energy transition solutions for shipping and providing our customers with effective solutions,
…Marc Bourdon, Senior Vice-President, Commercial and Agencies Networks, CMA CGM Group, commented.
