<p data-path-to-node="5">In a milestone for sustainable port operations and maritime decarbonization, <b data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="98">Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ)</b> has successfully transitioned its <b data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="186">Dhamra Port</b> facility in Odisha to be powered by <b data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="234">100 percent renewable electricity</b>.</p><p data-path-to-node="6">The transition entirely eliminates Dhamra Port’s indirect, <b data-path-to-node="6" data-index-in-node="59">Scope 2</b> carbon emissions by replacing conventional grid-supplied power with a mix of <b data-path-to-node="6" data-index-in-node="144">solar and wind energy</b>. This was achieved through strategic investments in utility-scale renewable energy procurement via power purchase agreements (PPAs) and open-access mechanisms. Decarbonizing terminal operations significantly lowers the carbon intensity of the entire coastal logistics chain, directly addressing the demand from major shipping lines and cargo owners for "greener" global supply chains.</p><p data-path-to-node="7">The achievement at Dhamra aligns with APSEZ’s broader science-based targets for sustainability and its corporate mandate to transform all major gateway ports within its portfolio into <b data-path-to-node="7" data-index-in-node="184">net-zero emissions</b> nodes by <b data-path-to-node="7" data-index-in-node="212">2030</b>.
