PSA Corporation (PSA) and Ocean Network Express (ONE) have deepened their collaboration on sustainability initiatives by working together to recover and recycle refrigerant gas from refrigerated containers (reefers). "PSA is the first in Southeast Asia to commence trials on the use of reclaimed refrigerant gas for reefers with ONE being the first shipping line to successfully complete the trials using their reefers with PSA," according to an official statement from ONE.
Recycling refrigerant gas effectively saves about 4,000 kg of carbon emissions per reefer (assuming 3 kg of R134a refrigerant gas per reefer), which is equivalent to emissions from driving a normal internal combustion engine car for close to a year, the statement added.
