PORT SAINT JOHN

Since establishing our greenhouse gas (GHG) baseline in 2022 and setting reduction targets, Port Saint John has conducted annual Scope 1 and Scope 2 inventories to track progress toward reducing operational emissions. Over this period, PSJ has achieved a 14% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions, reflecting our ongoing commitment to a lower carbon footprint.

REBATES FOR GOOD PERFORMANCE

Port Saint John provides a tariff rebate to cruise and cargo ships that are listed with a score of 25 or higher on the Environmental Ship Index.

This globally adopted index identifies seagoing ships that exceed the International Maritime Organization’s current emission standards for reducing air emissions. A score of 100 means the ship is performing at a very high standard; a score of 0 indicates poor performance.

RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES (RECs):

Starting in 2023, Port Saint John purchased RECs from Saint John Energy through the Burchill wind project. A Renewable Energy Certificate certifies that one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from a renewable source and fed into the electrical grid. The RECs purchased offset 100% of our corporate electricity use.
