Zero-Emission Ports: Strategies and Technologies for Carbon-Neutral Port Operations
By Kat Sarmiento
Exploring the maritime sector’s shift towards sustainability, this article delves into strategies for zero-emission ports. From electrification to smart technologies and community collaboration, discover how ports are navigating the challenge to reduce their carbon footprint and lead in environmental responsibility.
Did you know that a single ship emits an annual average of 140 million metric tons of carbon dioxide? Bulk carriers even outrank this number, releasing about 440 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. Ports, with their constant activity and extensive machinery, are often subject to environmental impact monitors due to their significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
