Rotterdam: Europe's Biggest Port Faces Growing Pressure to Cut Fossil Fuel Emissions
The Port of Rotterdam, Europe's busiest freight hub, is under increasing environmental pressure, including a lawsuit from Advocates for the Future. The port handles nearly as much cargo as all UK ports combined and its industrial cluster emits about 29 million tonnes of CO2 annually. The Port Authority has set a target to cut its own emissions by 90% by 2030 and is investing in carbon capture, hydrogen, and alternative fuels.
