Green Ports&Shipping Summit

BACK TO THE AGENDA

Reducing the environmental footprint of commercial shipping has long been at the top of the priority list of both the UN, through the IMO, and the European Union. The focus is now on reducing CO2 emissions. The post-pandemic crisis and the war have perhaps slowed down the practical effects of, for example, the recent partial approval of the new taxonomies, and some areas of the plan are very controversial and could change. It is unlikely that they will back down, however. It is urgent that we arrive at a greater definition of the lines of development in the field of propulsion, maritime works, port and rear-port infrastructures and technical regulations. The technologies are here, and it is reassuring that different ones are available. It is clear that the paths to reach the zero or neutral emissions target will almost certainly pass from a total management of the energy cycle, starting from generation. At the same time, the reduction of the environmental impact cannot be limited to CO2 emissions. The reduction of polluting emissions (sulfur, but also nitrogen oxides) is always a goal, while finally the standards for the neutralization of the effects of ballast water are entering in effect and now wer are aiming at an overall strategy of "leaving no trace" from waste to plastic. Including noise pollution.

MAIN TOPICS

  • The evolution of IMO rules and timing
  • European taxonomies and classification of technological clusters
  • European targets for carbon neutrality
  • Decarbonization: technological paths in the short and medium term
  • The energy system and the decarbonisation of shipping
  • The wind as propulsion
  • Self-production and energy efficiency of ports
  • Port electrification: where it is needed, do it, now
  • Non-propulsive energy efficiency solutions
  • The next step: level D2 ballast water, legislation and solutionsi
  • Sulfur and nitrogen oxides: still a long way to go
  • Abatement of waste from maritime transport and ports
  • Noise abatement, saving urban ports
