Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP), a leading Scandinavian port operator, has successfully transitioned its container handling operations to entirely fossil-free fuel with the full implementation of HVO100 (hydrogenated vegetable oil). This significant achievement eliminates over 286,000 litres of fossil diesel annually and reduces CO2e emissions by 640 tonnes. CMP began introducing HVO100, a renewable and fossil-free alternative, at its Copenhagen container terminal in November 2023. Compared to conventional diesel, HVO100 offers a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 90%. The terminal's large ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and work vehicles have historically been powered by renewable electricity. 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 phase-in accelerated. By the end of 2023, terminal tractors, empty container handlers, and forklifts were already using HVO100. In early 2024, CMP introduced new battery-hybrid straddle carriers compatible with HVO100 at sections of the terminal. Following successful trials on older straddle carriers during the summer of 2024, all regularly operating vehicles and equipment have been running on fossil-free fuel since August 1, 2024. '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 fo
