Epson has announced a partnership with Maersk, one of the world’s largest shipping and logistics company, to use greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduced fuels like biodiesel and green methanol for its inbound ocean transportation to Europe.
The collaboration represents the start of a three-year programme to increase the volume of containers transported using GHG emission reduced fuels and marks a step towards Epson’s pledge to become carbon negative and underground resource free by 2050. With ECO Delivery Ocean, Maersk offers a product that allows cargo owners to reduce the GHG emissions of their seaborne transports by up to 82% compared to conventional fossil fuel transported containers.
As part of its Epson 25 Renewed initiative, Epson is charting a decarbonisation pathway, with carbon-free logistics a key focus in achieving its aims. In the first year of a three-year programme, the partnership with Maersk is projected to yield savings of 230 tonnes of CO2e emissions.
