Electrolux To Lower Sea Transport Emissions in 2022
Electrolux will reduce its sea transport GHG emissions by 15% in 2022 by using more sustainable fuels for 25% of its total sea freight.
The appliance manufacturer will partner with shipping companies Maersk and CMA CGM Group to use biofuel based on waste oils and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).
Electrolux is working toward halving its transport emissions by 2025. With the new agreements in place, 25% of Electrolux Group's total sea freight will be transported using the most effective solutions for decarbonizing available in the market right now.
"These partnerships put Electrolux at the forefront in terms of the percentage of the total volume of products being transported in a more sustainable way. As we continuously contract increasing volumes of biofuel for sea transportation, we are also supporting the overall market development toward more sustainable practices for shipping goods across the world", says Carsten Franke, Electrolux Chief Operating Officer in a statement.
Container logistics company Maersk will use a second-generation biofuel that is a blend of used cooking oil and standard fuel. The biofuel generates 88% less GHG emissions compared to bunker fuel and is certified as a sustainable fuel by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) body.
The agreement with shipping and logistics company CMA CGM Group calls for the company to use CMA CGM's CLEANER Energy LNG solution based on LNG and guarantee of origin biomethane, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% compared with bunker fuel.
