Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP), a major Scandinavian port operator, has announced the full transition to fossil-free fuel for its container handling operations. This significant achievement was made possible by the complete implementation of HVO100 (hydrogenated vegetable oil) fuel at its container terminal. The shift is projected to reduce annual fossil diesel consumption by over 286,000 litres and cut CO2e emissions by 640 tonnes. CMP began introducing HVO100, a renewable and fossil-free alternative, at the Copenhagen container terminal in November 2023. HVO100 offers a substantial environmental benefit, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional fossil diesel. The terminal has already been utilizing electricity from renewable sources to power its large ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and work vehicles. While the complete switch to HVO100 in Copenhagen was initially slated for the opening of the new container terminal at Ydre Nordhavn in 2025, the implementation accelerated significantly. By the end of 2023, the HVO100 phase-in included terminal tractors, empty container handlers, and forklifts. In early 2024, CMP introduced new battery-hybrid straddle carriers compatible with HVO100 at certain areas of the terminal. Following successful trials on older straddle carriers during the summer of 2024, all vehicles and equipment in regular operation have been running on fossil-free fuel since August 1, 2024. CMP expressed pride in achieving this milestone, stating, "We at CMP are very proud to be able to offer container terminal handling in Copenhagen without the use of fossil fuels – and this is more than half a year ahead of the original schedule. It is therefore very important for us to have eliminated..."
