CMA CGM and ENGIE join forces to invest in biomethane production in Le Havre
The CMA CGM Group, a global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions, and ENGIE Group, a major player in the energy transition, are joining forces to develop a major biomethane production facility at the heart of the Le Havre industrial-port zone. This major logistics hub in Europe, is a strategic location for the ...
CMA CGM Group and ENGIE Group have announced a strategic partnership to develop a biomethane production facility in Le Havre, France. The facility will convert livestock waste, household biowaste, and agricultural residues into biomethane, which will be supplied to CMA CGM's fleet through the European gas grid. ENGIE will lead the project's technical design, permitting process, construction, and operation.
The biomethane produced will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 67% over its full life cycle compared to conventional marine fuels. CMA CGM, committed to reaching Net Zero Carbon across all activities by 2050, will invest in the project through its energy fund, PULSE. The partnership aligns with CMA CGM's decarbonization strategy, which includes reducing energy consumption and increasing the share of low-carbon energy by deploying the right assets and developing sustainable fuel supply chains.
By 2030, CMA CGM aims to have 200 dual-fuel vessels capable of running on biomethane, biomethanol, and e-fuels on its fleet.
