Decarbonising ports is a critical step in achieving worldwide sustainability goals and addressing climate change.

Therefore, as pivotal hubs in the global supply chain, ports face mounting pressures and challenges in balancing efficiency with sustainability.

The report Getting Ports to Net Zero, summarising a research project by Thetius and Ericsson, clears a concrete pathway leading to carbon-free operations.

It describes a systemic approach, beginning with the detection of emission sources, followed by informed decision-making on technologies and funding needs, and effective, thoughtful deployment of solutions.

Highlighting advanced monitoring systems and smart technologies, electrification and renewable energy integration, the publication examines implementation factors as well as real-life case studies, allowing ports to identify a proper strategy that best suits their operational framework.
