Port carbon-neutral during Vancouver 2010 Winter Games
As the Official Supplier of Port Service to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, we partnered with VANOC and Offsetters to voluntarily offset carbon emissions created by our Games-time activities. By offsetting all of our operations during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, we were able to contribute to a carbon-neutral Games.
Port Metro Vancouver is also proud to be a recipient of a Vancouver 2010 Sustainability Star for our contribution to the BC Hydrogen Highway initiative. By showcasing the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technology, we joined other collaborators, including the Government of Canada, Province of BC, City of West Vancouver, and BC Hydro, in realizing a clean energy future for transportation and logistics.
