Net Zero 2035

Net Zero 2035

We have set a purposefully ambitious target to achieve Net-Zero for Scopes 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2035
Our strategy

Hutchison Ports has set near-term and long-term emissions reduction targets according to Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) net-zero standard.

These targets have been developed in accordance with the latest climate science and are in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement goals to limit global warming.

At London Thamesport, we have set a purposefully ambitious target to achieve Net-Zero for Scopes 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and Scope 3 before 2050. We have assessed and measured our current emissions and put in place a programme to replace all fossil-fuel powered plant.

The programme to deliver emissions reduction has already begun with investment in new and more sustainable equipment.

GHG emissions reduction targets

To achieve the GHG emissions reduction targets, Hutchison Ports has developed a net-zero strategic roadmap which takes into account the past emissions pattern, future plan on electrification of fleet, adoption of renewable energy and alternative fuel.

Implementing a decarbonisation strategy

Recognising the risks and opportunities presented by climate change, Hutchison Ports is dedicated to creating and implementing a decarbonisation strategy across the Group in line with our net-zero ambition. To deliver that strategy we have developed a Decarbonisation Plan to understand our energy profile, identify emission hotspots and outline emission reduction measures.

The main components of the decarbonisation plan include an assessment of current emissions, an equipment replacement plan, the use of renewable electricity, changes in operational behaviours and the implementation of efficiencies

Statutory Harbour Authority

London Thamesport is not a Statutory Harbour Authority and sits within the jurisdictional area of Port of Sheerness and the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company Limited, which is part of the Peel Ports Group.

However, we take seriously our responsibility for the safety of marine operations and we work closely with Peel Ports Group to ensure our waters and the wider harbour are managed in a safe and efficient manner and that the environment is safeguarded.
