Maersk to operate first low GHG emissions contract logistics warehouse in Denmark

A.P. Moller – Maersk has announced the construction of its first low-greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contract logistics warehouse in Denmark, in partnership with Taulov Dry Port, a Danish joint venture between ADP A/S and PFA Pension.

The warehouse aims to be built to BREEAM Excellent standards with zero direct emissions from operations in full compliance with the company’s overall goal of decarbonising its entire operations by 2040.

The facility will be located in Taulov in Southern Denmark, will have a capacity of 40,000 m² with an option for an additional 40,000 m² and is expected to start operations in 2024.

Birna Odefors, A.P. Moller – Maersk’s area managing director of Nordics, said, “The Taulov facility also has a strategic position in Europe and will be a key asset to serve our customers as a deconsolidation point and add value by optimizing transport modes with its port, rail and road links creating flexibility in flows by accelerating or slowing down supply chains.”

Odefors went on to add, “The typical customer needs in the fields of contract logistics are to support their inventory control, cost optimisation, extended visibility, speed to market and a consistent, sustainable flow of goods to reinforce their supply chain resilience. As consequence, many of our customers are looking to build upon their offerings to their markets and require logistics partners with asset control to support their growth strategies, by establishing long-term sustainable contract logistics solutions and not just to cover the short-term demand arising due to Covid-19.”

Maersk’s emissions targets imply at least 90% of global cold chain and contract logistics activities will be certified as green by 2030.

All indoor and outdoor equipment of the warehouse will be electrified, solar panels will be installed on the entire roof of the warehouse and the excess renewable energy produced will be fed into the grid.

In addition, battery powered trucks will be used for all of the shunting operations and hydrogen stations are planned within 150 meters from site.
