Atos and Port of Esbjerg team up to co-create solutions for a carbon neutral harbour

ATOS and the Port of Esbjerg, one of the largest harbours in Europe, have announced a joint innovation project. The project aims to create a leading Carbon Neutral Harbour driven by low carbon solutions for their customers. The two parties were matched through efforts from Invest in Denmark, who have been working closely with ATOS in order to identify suitable partners for their innovative and sustainable co-creation investments.

When

"The Danish government has its eyes fixed on how we can push the green agenda forward and reduce the carbon footprint through public-private cooperation. This collaboration holds the potential to make a huge difference for Europe’s leading port for shipping of offshore wind turbines. At the same time, it will bring green jobs to Denmark. I hope this combination of green transition and sustainable business will serve as inspiration for other ports across Europe" 

Jeppe Kofod

Minister for Foreign Affairs of Denmark

The Port of Esbjerg and ATOS are collaborating on a project to create a trimodal solution contributing to reduced carbon emissions. Calculating the carbon footprint of different transport modes and routes, the Port of Esbjerg aims to be an effective central logistic location. Logistic companies of the sea, rail and road will have the opportunity to have a proactive decarbonisation strategy by choosing the mode and route with the lowest carbon footprint and, at the same time, leveraging cost saving in cooperation with the Port.

“With Denmark set to reduce emissions to 70% of its 1990 carbon levels by 2030, we are proud to be working in collaboration with the Port of Esbjerg to build a sustainable future for Denmark. As a worldwide leader in secure and decarbonised digital solutions with a set ambition to reach net zero by 2028, ATOS takes pride in leveraging its unique know-how in the industry to support and shape its clients’ decarbonisation priorities. We focus on carbon reduction to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and drive innovation to achieve success”

Claus Larsen

CEO of Atos Denmark

ATOS will provide the Port of Esbjerg an integrated and end-to-end solution including technology features based on high performance data analytics made intelligent by building in AI components such as machine learning and neural networks. With intelligent selection due to AI, the trimodal solution will incorporate all cargo requests in one digital analytical platform including available routes. In addition, it will calculate the carbon footprint on the basis of transport modes and routes. In this way, the solution will let companies choose the mode and route with the smallest carbon footprint.
