AN INTERNATIONAL COALITION TO DEVELOP TOMORROW S TRANSPORT ENERGY

To massively increase and pool invest- ment in reducing the carbon footprint of transport and logistics for the entire value chain, Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, offi-

cially established a coalition for the trans- port energies of tomorrow for transport and logistics with the backing of French President Emmanuel Macron.

Coalition is gathering 12 members and will welcome new members by 2021. Nine Working groups have been created to accelerate energies transition in transport and supply chain. Working groups projects

deliverables and roadmaps will be presented to CEOs and public institutions by 2021 to promote new energies usages, accelerate R&D in Transport and define the standards for an efficient CO2 emission optimization.

In 2020, CMA CGM initiated a BIOFUEL COLLABORATIVE GROUP with its customers, inviting a Group of major brands to associate their efforts towards decarbonization in ocean shipping. The aim is to assess market readiness, identify shipper s needs and design an offer

for biofuel with key customers looking for practical solutions to reach their supply chain decarbonization targets. Among other expectations, the BIOFUEL Group members are looking at alternative ways to comply with IMO 2050 GHG objectives while demonstrating commitment

and leadership on sustainable initiatives. In engaging with recognized consumer brands, the Group endeavors to inspire and trigger a concrete sustainable, scalable and affordable biofuel market.

LEVERAGING R&D EFFORTS AND PROMOTE CROSS-INDUSTRIES COOPERATION

BIOFUEL ALTERNATIVES: LEADING THE WAY WITH THE BIOFUEL COLLABORATIVE GROUP

The CMA CGM Group has joined forces with Energy Observer, the first green hydrogen- powered vessel to circumnavigate the globe, with a shared goal: to develop zero-emission maritime transport. The project aims to test and develop energy

solutions based on hydrogen, solar, tidal and wind power.

CMA  CGM will provide its industrial expertise to this experimental vessel to promote the deployment of hydrogen

as a future propulsion system for maritime transport. In return, the CMA  CGM Group will receive feedback on the new technology being tested by Energy Observer under real conditions

JOINING FORCES WITH ENERGY OBSERVER TO DEVELOP ZERO EMISSION VESSELS

Alongside Boris Hermann and seaexplorer thrroughout the Vendee Globe to raise awareness on climate change

The CMA  CGM Group has supported the Boris Hermann-led Team Malizia and its SeaExplorer throughout the Vendée Globe.

Under the motto a race we must win , this partnership aimed at:

raising awareness to prevent climate change and protect the use of the oceans advancing research on ocean CO2 by col- lecting valuable data in the most remote

parts of the oceans (water temperature, salinity, pH and CO2 ) that will be passed on to scientists accelerating the use of innovative solutions for the environment
