The decarbolization measures in small and medium -sized ports (SMP) are areas that are limited to the port of sustainability of ports. These measures are particularly important, because the increase in the increase in transportation and the beginning of reducing the sense of urgency of greenhouse gas emissions, which is particularly obvious in improving the pressure of the environmental range of logistics operations and transportation. Heavy transportation (such as in the port) is considered a difficult department that is difficult to resist. Among the department, environmental upgrades are mainly carried out by improving energy management and efficiency. In order to make the efforts of decarburization more effective, it is essential to understand the implementation of the implementation of carbon measures and the general implementation of and the general implementation and the implementation of the alternative fuel and the land power supply (OPS).
Sintef’s senior research scientist Dr. Markus Steen and Sintef’s senior research scientist Kristin YSTMARK BJERKAN and Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Dr. Lillian Hansen of Sintef and Dr. Hanne Seter have begun to determine the decarburization measures implemented through SMP and explore the impact of affecting its implementation. The factors are described as the driver and obstacles. Their work was published in the journal of peer review, “Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspective”.
Desert carbon measures are divided into different categories: port management and policies, power and fuel, maritime activities and land activities. Researchers pointed out: “All measures can lead to decarburization, but especially alternative fuels that provide alternative fuels in land power and provide alternative fuels are considered important choices in this regard.” They found that OPS is the most prominent decarbon. Measures, as well as the energy efficiency in the infrastructure of the port and increased the knowledge of the port. Low -voltage operation is the most common, and the implementation frequency of high -voltage operations is low, probably due to the higher economic costs and pressure on the energy grid. Studies have found that “regardless of the size of the port, the implementation of OPS is relatively uniformly distributed, and compared with the middle and small ports, the implementation of replacement fuel seems to be more prominent in large ports.”
Many ports have also taken measures to reduce land activity emissions, and replacement fuels have not been implemented frequently, which may be due to lack of driving factors or obstacles related to it. The author found that the promotion of potential users and political steering is not so powerful in alternative fuel, not operational. They also found that the implementation of alternative fuels is high, and it is necessary to cooperate more with related people and public interests. Overall, research found that ports have taken various measures to achieve decarburization, which seems to be different from the different situations of the derivative and obstacles.
The driving factor implemented by decarburization measures is mainly shaped by the support of pressure (reducing emissions) and different participants and the surrounding environment (such as the public, various organizations and media). Resources, personnel resources, time, technical maturity and ability. The result of the questionnaire also shows that different driving factors and obstacles are for single measures, which indicates that a single suitable method may not be the most effective way to promote the implementation of carbon decarburization measures in SMP.
Overall, the study emphasizes the most important and effective way to promote the implementation of decarburization measures in SMP, as well as a way to use the futures and sustainable research for port portable and sustainable research. In addition, it is also called to understand the local influence more deeply that the role of the port in sustainable work and the consistency of the low -carbon energy chain with the stakeholders.
