Hapag-Lloyd has signed an agreement with Goldwind, a Beijing-based global leader in clean energy, for the annual supply of 250,000 tonnes of green methanol.

This fuel, comprising a blend of bio- and e-methanol, promises at least a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while meeting stringent sustainability certification standards.

The agreement marks a significant step in Hapag-Lloyd’s Strategy 2030 and its commitment to the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Agreement. “We are fully committed to sustainable investments and achieving net-zero fleet operations by 2045,” said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd. The deal secures a substantial portion of the carrier’s green fuel requirements and positions it as a leader in the shipping industry’s transformation toward decarbonisation.
