A facility for the capture of CO2 will reduce emissions from the ARC by 500,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and can thus significantly contribute to the City of Copenhagen’s goal of becoming the world’s first capital city in the world to become carbon-neutral. CMP will become a central party in distributing the captured CO2 to ships that sail the CO2 to storage in old oil fields in the North Sea.
As an important step towards a smarter and more digital port, CMP has initiated a joint collaboration with TradeLens which will eventually make it possible to modernise manual workflows and procedures and ensure more seamless collaborations between actors within the logistics chain.
