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

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

Material once seen as a poor man’s choice returns as a climate bet, with red clay replacing part of the gray concrete in modern buildings, hospitals, houses, and a cultural center that transforms tradition into a solution against urban heat.

American company deploys humanoid robots to work live for 8 hours and surprises by showing machines handling packages at an almost human pace while accelerating production on a global industrial scale

Scientists look at the Pacific Ocean and find a signal that worries meteorologists: heat accumulated below the surface may anticipate a strong El Niño, capable of altering rainfall, droughts, and temperatures in various regions of the planet.

How much does it cost to plaster a 102 m² house: project shows an expense of R$ 40.4 thousand with labor, materials, and extras

Germany prepares three giants of 34,000 tons in the North Sea to convert offshore wind energy into high-voltage electricity, in a 6 GW project that will feature converter platforms, HVDC connection, and works scheduled until 2031.

Taller than the Eiffel Tower when in operation, the ship Voltaire lifts giant turbines in the North Sea using a 3,200-ton crane to transform Dogger Bank into the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

In southern Iraq, a structure made solely from marsh plants creates arched halls, dispensing with wood and steel, and showcases an ancient engineering that still challenges modern architecture.
