Valencia cuts carbon footprint
From 2008 to 2019, the Spanish port of Valencia saw its carbon footprint reduced by 30%, from 3.19 kg to 2.23 kg of carbon per tonne handled. In the same period, Valenciaport’s activity nevertheless grew by 42%, from 52 million t handled in 2008 to 74 million t at the close of FY 2019.
These figures mark a significant achievement for Valenciaport because they prove with facts and figures that economic growth is compatible with the reduction of CO2.
With specific projects Valenciaport 2030 shows its commitment to achieve zero emissions in 2030, two decades ahead of the objectives that Spain, Europe and international organisations have projected for 2050. (cd)
