Overview and Research Opportunities in Energy Management for …

Literature proposes an intelligent port energy management system composed of microgrids and overall energy planning platforms, which can reduce port energy consumption and effectively reduce carbon emissions by monitoring the energy efficiency of port equipment facilities, terminal buildings, and other port facilities.

Sustainable Ports as Energy Hubs

The initiatives are focused upon both the energy used for moving carriers by the use of different energy sources, and how to make movements as efficient as possible by measures such as green...

The Role of Ports in the Energy Transition

The EU Green Deal, EU energy efficiency improvement target of at least 32.5% for 2030 and the REPowerEU plan open opportunities for ports. Ports can support the development of productions ...

A review of energy efficiency in ports: Operational strategies ...

Energy efficiency is critical for ports and terminals which aim to reduce energy consumption (consequently emissions) and become greener. In October 2014, the European Council endorsed a target of 30% energy efficiency and a target of 27% for the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption in all sectors by 2030 [4].

Future pathways for decarbonization and energy efficiency of ports ...

Incorporating hybrid propulsion systems, fuel-efficient engines, and improved energy management strategies can lead to reduced fuel consumption and emissions during port waiting periods, thus complementing the efforts made within the port''s energy management system.

Mauritius

As the country''s sole maritime gateway, the Port Louis harbor plays a vital role in the national economy. It handles about 99.5 percent of the total volume of external trade, equivalent to approximately 8 million tons of cargo annually, and directly contributes two percent to Mauritius''s GDP.

Ports'' technical and operational measures to reduce

The port energy efficiency was added to portside GHG emission reduction measures due to its importance in reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions. The identification of technical and operational measures is the first important step in port emission reduction strategy.
