The agreement is anticipated to deliver meaningful Scope 2 GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions reductions, equivalent to approximately 2.6 ktCO2e per year, by replacing fossil\u2011based grid electricity with renewable solar power. This marks a significant step in the company\u2019s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions across its terminal operations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"APM Terminals Yokohama\" style=\"height: 375px; width: 500px; margin-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/260508-yokohama-terminal-600.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nAPM Terminals Japan in Yokohama is the closest terminal to the entrance of Tokyo Bay    <\/p>\n<p>\nThe agreement supports Maersk\u2019s wider decarbonisation pathway to source 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and its ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by 2040.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder this 20-year PPA, renewable electricity supply to the Port of Yokohama commenced on 1 April 2026. Power is delivered from newly developed solar facilities with a total installed capacity of 5.5 MW located across the Tokyo region in Japan. The installed capacity of the facilities has been optimized to maximize solar consumption while ensuring real time matching and physical delivery requirements. Any residual electricity demand will be supplemented through market-based electricity sources.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs a long-term physical PPA, the agreement provides a stable and direct supply of renewable electricity to the Port of Yokohama\u2019s operations while also helping to mitigate exposure to electricity price volatility. Early benefits are already being realised amid the ongoing volatility in energy markets.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSecuring this PPA is a critical stepping stone towards our journey to operate our terminal at the Port of Yokohama on 100% renewable electricity and to further advance our vision of port decarbonization. This agreement demonstrates how local actions directly support APM Terminals\u2019 global sustainability commitments while ensuring reliable and responsible energy sourcing solutions. In addition, this PPA makes a tangible contribution to Japan\u2019s Energy Transition by enabling new solar capacity to be added to the national grid, which fully aligns with our decarbonization priorities,\u201d said Masahiko Shirai, Managing Director, APM Terminals Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\nAPM Terminals and A.P. Moller \u2013 Maersk advocate the use of physical PPAs as a preferred pathway to decarbonising electricity consumption. By enabling additional renewable capacity and physically delivering power into the national grid, physical PPAs help ensure that corporate climate action translates into tangible and long\u2011term emissions reductions and supports wider grid decarbonisation.<br \/>The PPA also contributes to Japan\u2019s national energy transition by enabling newly developed solar generation capacity, providing additionality and directly increasing the share of renewable electricity delivered into the Japanese power grid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long\u2011term offsite corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to supply renewable electricity and reduce Scope 2 emissions at the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15082,8,15089,33,15084,15086,9205,15085,15090,15087,15088,15083],"class_list":{"0":"post-19143","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japan","8":"tag-apm-terminals-japan","9":"tag-japan","10":"tag-maersk-decarbonisation","11":"tag-nihon","12":"tag-offsite-corporate-power-purchase-agreement","13":"tag-port-decarbonisation","14":"tag-ppa","15":"tag-renewable-electricity-japan","16":"tag-renewable-power-ports","17":"tag-scope-2-emissions","18":"tag-solar-energy-japan","19":"tag-yokohama-port"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
