APL reduces emissions
APL has announced that it achieved a 47.4% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per container transported per kilometre in 2018, compared to its base level in 2009.
The result follows the environmental performance assessment (EPA) of APL’s 2018 carbon dioxide emission data by the global non-profit organisation BSR’s clean cargo working group. The EPA data was verified by Lloyd’s Register Group according to the clean cargo verification protocol and principles of ISO14064-3:2006 standard.
APL plans to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions per container transported per kilometre by 30% between 2015 and 2025, after the group has achieved a 50% reduction between 2005 and 2015. Gearing up for 2020 Global Sulphur Cap, APL will be using low-sulphur compliant fuel oil across its vessel fleet, amongst others. (kd)
