- AWS, Carrefour Group, CMA CGM Group, Cluster Maritime
Français, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Engie,
Faurecia, Michelin, Schneider Electric, Total and Wärtsilä have
formed an international coalition.
- Nine concrete projects for developing energy solutions to
accelerate the energy transition in transport and
logistics.
Regulatory News:
At the Rencontres Économiques d’Aix-en-Provence, an economic
forum attended by many organizations from around the world, 11
international groups have announced they have joined forces to form
an international coalition open to new members. AWS, Carrefour
Group, CMA CGM Group, Cluster Maritime Français, Crédit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank, Engie, Faurecia, Michelin, Schneider
Electric, Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) and Wärtsilä are
the existing members.
Common goals for the energy transition in transport and
logistics The Coalition aims to accelerate the development of
energy sources and technologies to address the challenges posed by
sustainable mobility in the transport and logistics industry by
reducing emissions, fighting global warming and protecting
biodiversity.
The 11 existing members are pooling their expertise in pursuit
of three key goals to achieve genuine technological breakthroughs
with tangible results by 2030:
- Unlock a more extensive portfolio of clean energy sources,
- Lower energy consumption per kilometer-equivalent of goods
transported,
- Eliminate a substantial proportion of emissions linked to
transport and logistics.
Nine concrete projects devised by the nine working groups
already set up Over the past few months, the Coalition has
established nine working groups with several dozen participants to
devise nine concrete projects that will help shape the energy
sources of the future:
- Develop green hydrogen procurement solutions for the transport
sector,
- Develop biofuels for the various modes of transport,
- Expand the use of biogas and synthetic gases in transport,
- Replace fossil fuels with green energy across the supply
chain,
- Launch zero-emission vehicle pilot projects by the end of
2021,
- Create a digital door-to-door route planning system that
calculates the option with the lowest environmental impact,
- Optimize the operational management and loading to step up the
energy efficiency of each ton carried,
- Make multimodal platforms more environmentally friendly for
logistics applications,
- Consolidate methods used to measure the impact of energy
transition projects in transport and logistics.
The Coalition was launched in late 2019 during the French
Maritime Economy Conference (Assises de l’Economie de la Mer) and
has received the backing of French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Coalition’s initial findings will be officially presented in
January 2021 at the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Julien GROUES, Managing Director of AWS in France, said:
“At AWS, we are committed to running our business in the most
environmentally friendly way possible, and we aim to achieve 100%
renewable energy use across Amazon by 2025 on the path to net zero
carbon by 2040. Beyond our own commitment, we are also convinced
that the power of AWS is an asset for freight and logistics
companies to accelerate research and innovation in renewable energy
and make informed decisions based on the analysis of large data
sets. We are delighted to put our technological expertise at the
service of the coalition."
Alexandre BOMPARD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
the Carrefour Group, added: “The food transition for all, which
has become Carrefour's "raison d'être", will not happen without an
energy transition. We are a committed player and have set ambitious
objectives to fight global warming, through the promotion of
cleaner means of transportation, and through our aspiration to
build a food distribution model that, from producer to end
consumer, is environmentally friendly. We are taking actions within
the Group; but the challenges are so immense, so complex, that they
are necessarily collective. It is the aim of this coalition to take
up these challenges, that meet the expectations of citizens and
chart a new path for our societies.”
Rodolphe SAADE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
CMA CGM Group, stated: “In view of the challenges facing the
world, we must unite our strengths in order to accelerate the
energy transition of the transport and logistics industry. I am
delighted that 11 global corporations, leaders in their respective
fields, have joined this initiative. CMA CGM will provide all its
expertise and experience to this first large global multisectoral
coalition, supported by the President of the French Republic,
Emmanuel Macron. We are all fully mobilized to produce concrete
short, medium-and-long-term solutions.”
Frédéric MONCANY DE SAINT-AIGNAN, President of Cluster
Maritime Français, said: “Gathering more than 430 companies,
the French Maritime Cluster brings the expertise of the entire
French maritime ecosystem to the "coalition for tomorrow's energy".
Similarly, in partnership with the ADEME (French State Agency for
Environment and Energy), with major maritime companies (first and
foremost CMA CGM) and with all the members of the French Maritime
Cluster, we are building up a "Vision for 2050 of the maritime
industry ecological and energy transition", in order to identify
and create the necessary inclusive dynamics to help companies and
regions in the required economic, technological and regulatory
ruptures."
Jacques RIPOLL, Chief Executive Officer of Crédit Agricole
Corporate and Investment Bank, declared: “Global action is
urgently needed to address the climate challenges our planet is
facing. The transport sector and all players involved in its value
chain have a key role to play to lead a technological and
ecological progress. As a global leader in transport finance, from
ships to trains, Crédit Agricole CIB is very proud to support the
Transport Coalition and the future generations to achieve a better
and cleaner future.”
Jean-Pierre CLAMADIEU, Chairman of the Board of Engie,
commented: “The economic recovery plans and both public and private
investments they will generate will structure our economies for
many years to come. It is therefore essential to seize this
opportunity to accelerate the decarbonization of all industries,
particularly transportation. The coalition we are launching today
is proof that solutions are within reach if we work in a
coordinated manner and across the entire value chain. Tomorrow,
they will be an asset for our companies and for the economy as a
whole.”
Patrick KOLLER, Chief Executive Officer of Faurecia,
added: “The objectives of the Coalition reflect our convictions
through our "CO2Neutral" project and our sustainable mobility
strategy. We are particularly committed to reach carbon neutrality
for our facilities by 2025 with a global program of savings and of
decarbonated energy use. With strong expertise in hydrogen
technology and materials, we will play our full part within the
Coalition to make the energy transition for transport a reality.
This will require new technological solutions, which will emerge
more quickly through the creation of open ecosystems and knowledge
sharing.”
Florent MENEGAUX, President of the Michelin Group,
stated: "The Michelin teams are committed to making mobility more
sustainable and working with all relevant partners, inside and
outside the Movin’On ecosystem, to create and promote new
solutions. By joining the Coalition for the energy of the future,
the Group is taking another step in this direction. We want to
seize this opportunity to share our experience and expertise,
especially in hydrogen mobility, and accelerate the energy
transition in transport."
Jean-Pascal TRICOIRE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Schneider Electric, said: “At Schneider Electric, our
commitment is to be the partner of our customers in their journeys
toward sustainability and become carbon positive ourselves. We are
proud to be part of the Coalition for the energy of the future,
contributing to the energy transition in transportation and
logistics thanks to our expertise in energy and automation digital
solutions.”
Patrick POUYANNE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Total, declared: “Total shares the ambition to get to net-zero
emissions by 2050, together with society, for its global business
across its production and energy products used by its customers. By
joining the Coalition for the energy of the future alongside major
partners, we intend to support and accelerate the joint development
of tangible energy solutions, therefore directly contributing to
the reduction of carbon intensity of the transportation and
logistics sectors.”
Jaakko ESKOLA, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Wärtsilä, commented: “The shipping industry’s transition to
cleaner, more sustainable energy use is a movement in which we at
Wärtsilä continue to play a leading role. Through the development
of smart technologies, research into alternative future fuels, and
our holistic approach to raising efficiencies in all aspects of
shipping and port operations to create a Smart Marine Ecosystem, we
have shown our commitment to promoting decarbonization. We are,
therefore, proud to be part of this coalition which perfectly
aligns with our purpose to enable sustainable societies with smart
technology.”
