The strategic challenge for both entities consists in building a rigorous analytical reference framework to identify, measure, and prioritize major polluting emission sources associated with handling operations, ship traffic, and landside services.

By equipping itself with a precise mapping of its carbon footprint, the Douala-Bonabéri platform aims to durably structure its energy transition trajectory. This environmental radiography will not only align national infrastructures with international sustainable development standards, but also effectively guide future investments toward low-carbon port practices, thus reconciling economic performance with climate preservation imperatives.
