Climate-neutral handling certified once again
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG's (HHLA) Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) has once again been awarded the "Climate Neutral Company" certificate by TÜV Nord. This underlines CTA's pioneering role as a sustainable, innovative company in the industry.
CTA was certified as climate-neutral for the first time in 2019, making it the world's first container handling facility to be awarded the corresponding certification mark. Angela Titzrath, Chairwoman of HHLA's Executive Board, explains: "CTA's repeated certification once again demonstrates the terminal's innovative strength. This year we can already congratulate the CTA on its 20th anniversary and are very proud that the terminal has been regarded as a pioneer for innovation and sustainability in the industry since 2002 and is continuously being developed further. Thanks to technological excellence and process efficiency, we are making climate-neutral container handling possible and are getting closer to our goal of achieving climate neutrality throughout the Group by 2040." In the certified period from January to December 2021, CO2 emissions at CTA fell by 26.3% to around 11,000 tons. This development is primarily due to a significant reduction in diesel consumption as a result of the continued switch to electrically powered container transporters (Automated Guided Vehicles, AGVs). Almost 90 percent of the AGVs used at CTA now run on green electricity instead of diesel; all AGVs will be converted to fast-charging lithium-ion batteries by 2023. The 14 container gantry cranes for waterside handling, the 52 fully electrified gantry cranes in the container block storage facility and the four rail gantry cranes are also powered by green electricity.
