DCRail has launched a new short-haul rail freight service carrying recycled asphalt planings from Angerstein Wharf in Greenwich to Purfleet, supported by barge deliveries that keep hundreds of heavy trucks out of central London.
The joint venture connects the UK with Italy via Zeebrugge in Belgium, providing a lower-carbon alternative to road haulage on one of Europe’s busiest freight corridors.
DP World will increase the value of its Carbon Inset Credits fivefold from 1 October, offering cargo owners a stronger incentive to cut supply chain emissions.
The project will be based at the disused Scatsta Airport, positioning the islands as a significant player in the UK and northern Europe’s clean energy supply chain.
The project is described as a significant advance in the UK’s net-zero transition. The company claims it as a milestone in developing clean fuel for transport and industrial applications.
