During a panel discussion hosted by the World Economic Forum in Gothenburg, Sweden, APM Terminals CEO Keith Svendsen stressed the critical need to modernize port infrastructures to facilitate the widespread adoption of renewable energy. Svendsen highlighted APM Terminals' current success in operating with 40% renewable energy and reiterated the company's ambitious target of achieving 100% by 2030, establishing it as an industry frontrunner. APM Terminals has pledged to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 65% by 2030 (compared to a 2022 baseline) and aims for net-zero emissions by 2040. Since 2020, the company has already decreased absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 13%, with 40% of its electricity now derived from renewable sources. Beyond its own emissions reduction efforts, the Maersk-owned port operator is actively assisting its shipping and landside clients in decarbonizing their operations. An example of this is the expansion of Shore Power facilities for vessels at ports, which is being supported by EU funding. Four additional locations—Gijón, Rijeka, Aarhus, and Gothenburg—are slated to implement this emissions-reducing technology. In his remarks, Svendsen pointed to initiatives like APM Terminals' Gothenburg Electric Truck fast lane, which fosters customer adoption and simplifies the creation of fully decarbonized logistics supply chains. While APM Terminals is committed to continuous infrastructure upgrades, Svendsen emphasized that 'the broader port ecosystem needs to play ball, too. Achieving net zero must be a collective effort.'
