Eletrobras and Antaq Sign Agreement for Port and Terminal Decarbonization

Eletrobras and the National Waterway Transport Agency (Antaq) have partnered to decarbonize operations at ports and terminals. The company and the agency signed a letter of intent during the launch of the greenhouse gas emissions inventory for the waterway sector in Brasília.

The agreement involves identifying ports and terminals eligible to migrate to the free energy market, where operators can choose their electricity supplier and define contractual conditions, including purchasing renewable energy. The protocol also aims to support waterway operators in offsetting greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption in 2024 by issuing renewable energy certificates (I-Rec).

The partnership also includes assessing the potential for implementing electrification solutions, such as On-Shore Power Supply (OPS) or the electrification of port equipment, which would allow docked ships to be powered by the local electricity grid instead of burning fossil fuels.
