Itaguaí Terminal Renews Recognition from the Brazilian Alliance for Decarbonization of Ports and Demonstrates Significant Progress in Emission Reductions

The Porto Sudeste, located in Itaguaí (RJ), reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and decarbonization by once again earning the Pro-Climate Seal in the Diamond category in 2024, awarded by the Brazilian Alliance for Decarbonization of Ports (ABDP). This certification recognizes companies that maintain transparency in carbon emissions, set clear reduction targets, and demonstrate effective results in greenhouse gas mitigation.

Between 2021 and 2024, the terminal achieved a nearly 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from scopes 1 and 2. Emissions dropped from 8,174 tons of CO₂e to 2,112 tons of CO₂e, based on the choice of purchase approach. This progress was made possible because the terminal implemented various strategic initiatives, developed from a detailed mapping of the GHG Emissions Inventory, a tool that identifies and quantifies emission sources within the industrial complex.

Since operations began in 2015, Porto Sudeste has conducted annual analyses that allow for measuring environmental impacts, correcting operational bottlenecks, and directing mitigation actions. Thus, the terminal has become a reference in energy efficiency and environmental management, contributing significantly to combat climate change.

The Director of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Porto Sudeste, Ulisses Oliveira, emphasized that the recognition represents more than an award: it is the confirmation that the logistics sector is on a sustainable path. According to him, “being recognized is very important, but the essential thing is knowing that we are on the right track, applying actions that truly transform the future of the logistics sector.”

Furthermore, Ulisses emphasized that many solutions implemented at the terminal are replicable in other ports and industries, expanding the positive impact of decarbonization. This perspective contributes to a more responsible logistics chain, integrated and focused on planet preservation.

Among the notable measures, one stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. The replacement of gasoline with ethanol in the company’s flex vehicles, implemented between May 2024 and April 2025, avoided the emission of 9.4 tons of CO₂. This action aimed at reducing scope 1 emissions has become a permanent part of the operational routine.

According to Ulisses, the terminal also conducted tests with electric vehicles, trucks, and loaders, achieving gains in productivity and availability. However, challenges such as electrical infrastructure and acquisition costs still persist, requiring continuous planning and constant innovation to consolidate the energy transition in the port sector.

With the Pro-Climate Diamond Seal 2024, Porto Sudeste consolidates its position as a national reference in sustainability. The recognition from ABDP, the institution that monitors the decarbonization targets of Brazilian ports, reinforces the terminal’s leading role in the country’s environmental agenda.

The achievement also reflects the global trend of modernizing logistics infrastructure, which seeks to balance economic development and environmental preservation. The model adopted in Itaguaí aligns with best international practices, demonstrating that it is possible to grow responsibly and with energy efficiency.

The trajectory of Porto Sudeste illustrates how strategic planning combined with technological innovation can transform the port sector into an example of sustainability and global competitiveness. The 80% reduction in emissions in just three years demonstrates the real potential of environmental actions when they are well-structured, monitored, and continuously improved.

Itaguaí Terminal Renews Recognition from the Brazilian Alliance for Decarbonization of Ports and Demonstrates Significant Progress in Emission Reductions

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Construction is Changing: The Unusual Materials of Future Construction That Promise Cheaper Projects, Lower Environmental Impact, and Greater Savings

Carbon Capture and Storage advances in mature oil fields in Brazil and promises to transform old reservoirs into underground structures capable of reducing emissions, extending the production life, and attracting new investments for the energy industry.

Researchers from four Brazilian universities created a floating system that generates energy from tides and the sun simultaneously, with submerged turbines and solar panels on catamarans, and the Boqueirão Channel in Maranhão has currents so strong that a farm would produce almost 24 GWh per year.

Cheaper beef in sight? The US wants to tear down barriers, reduce import tariffs, and expand the entry of foreign cuts to try to curb food inflation.

The world’s oldest river may have crossed Pangea and still cuts through mountains in Australia as if defying time.

A ship that departed from Argentina and arrived in Brazil unloaded 50,000 tons of barley at the Port of Paranaguá, breaking a historical record in Paraná and strengthening the mechanism that supplies breweries, malt houses, and industries in Southern Brazil.

Nine port projects total R$ 5.1 billion in investments in Brazil and place Santos, Pecém, Paranaguá, Santana, and Aratu in a new round of logistics modernization.

Ships that departed from China arrive at the Port of Santos with parts for Latin America’s largest Ferris wheel, bringing a 70-ton axle and 42 cabins, and transport a 108-meter mega-structure to Cuiabá.

Electric machines from Finnish Kalmar will arrive at the Port of Santos: 6 giants with 400 kWh batteries will operate in Guarujá, stack containers up to seven high, and take diesel-free logistics to another level.
