From 1 January
2025, importers will receive 50kg CO₂e of carbon credits for each loaded import
container moved through DP World’s UK terminals. The carbon credits on offer in the
trial are not generated by the DP World terminals, but by group company Unifeeder.Unifeeder’s
North European feeder network has deployed lower-carbon fuels in its
operations, including through the use of biofuels. The company has also invested in increased energy efficiency for its
fleet, and the future deployment of methanol-capable ships from 2026The
verified and pooled carbon credits from Unifeeder will allow importers to
access independently verified carbon credits, the company said.
Insetting relates to investments in a
company’s own supply chain to reduce carbon emissions, whereas offsetting
supports external, unrelated decarbonisation activities to compensate for a
company’s own emissions.“For businesses,
this represents a transparent and measurable way to cut Scope-3 emissions –
indirectly produced along the supply chain, while demonstrating sustainability
commitments to customers,” said DP World
Unifeeder launched its own carbon
insetting programme in June 2024, GreenBox, selling the carbon savings from its
alternative fuels to customers, allowing them to support Unifeeder’s decarbonisation
activities.
DP World claimed that if 50% of its
import volumes took part in the carbon insetting project, 10,000 tonnes of
carbon dioxide equivalent emissions could be avoided by replacing 11,000 tonnes
of traditional fuels with lower-carbon alternatives.John Trenchard, vice president – commercial & supply chain, DP
World in the UK, said: “Insetting carbon emissions is a transparent, direct and
pragmatic approach with immediate measurable impact for our customers. By
providing easy access to an independently certified inset programme, we aim to
create better awareness and encourage the adoption of more sustainable
practices.
“By participating in the trial, a world
first, import cargo owners can actively contribute to global decarbonisation efforts
while aligning with their own sustainability goals.”Christian Hoepfner, director group decarbonisation at Unifeeder Group,
added: “We are supporting DP World in the UK in their innovative Carbon Inset
Programme by contributing verified GHG reductions generated on our vessels
operating in Europe.”
The UK carbon price for civil penalties
under the UK ETS in 2025 will be £41.48 per tonne.
