IKEA opts for Hapag-Lloyd's Ship Green to reduce emissions

 Hapag-Lloyd has signed an agreement with IKEA Supply Chain Operations to decarbonise container shipments originating from Asia. "For the period March 2024 to February 2025, both companies have agreed to use Hapag-Lloyd’s highest product option for biofuels, Ship Green 100, which relies on waste- and residue-based biofuel instead of conventional marine fuel oil. The expected result for IKEA during this period is a CO2 emission reduction of around 100,000 tonnes," says a release from Hapag. Danny Smolders, Managing Director, Global Sales, Hapag-Lloyd says: “IKEA stands as one of our valued customers, known for its unwavering commitment to sustainability. By joining forces, we are reducing CO2e emissions significantly. Ship Green is an important aspect of our decarbonisation journey and brings us one step closer to our goal of net-zero fleet operations by 2045.”
