International provider of
security, inspection and certification services TUV re-confirmed the climate
neutrality of the terminal where the carbon footprint has been reduced by a further 6.4 per cent.
However, the development is by no
means complete. Hamburger
Hafen und Logistik (HHLA)
intends to be climate-neutral by 2040 and CTA plays a key role in the
attainment of this goal.
Angela
Titzrath, chairwoman of HHLA's executive board: "Regardless of the current challenges, HHLA
remains committed to its climate protection goals."
This means halving its absolute
carbon emissions by 2030 compared with 2018 and achieving climate neutrality in
the Group by 2040, she said.
The 14 container gantry cranes
for seaborne handling, the 52 completely electric gantry cranes in the
container storage blocks and the four rail-mounted gantry cranes at the largest
rail terminal in Europe are all powered by 100 per cent green electricity. Half
of the approximately 100 container transporters (Automated Guided
Vehicles/AGVs) at CTA already run on lithium-ion batteries. Two-thirds of the
fleet will be replaced by the fast-charging battery technology by the end of
this year and by 2022, all AGVs will have been switched.
Said Ms Titzrath: "Since its
opening in 2002, the CTA has undergone continuous development. Today, it also
serves HHLA as a research and testing laboratory for new, highly promising
technologies. Solutions that have proven themselves here are frequently used
later at terminal facilities around the world."
