摘要

With the ever-looming threat of climate change and global warming for all life forms, the world is making efforts to achieve carbon neutrality to avoid dire consequences for ecosystems around the world. The maritime industry is therefore part of the factors that can significantly impact greenhouse gas emissions. The naval industry moves more than 80% of global trade by volume, making it a large and growing source of global greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Ships are also a source of pollution for local communities living near ports due to their energy consumption when they are at berth. Currently, the most common way to mitigate this problem is to provide shore-side electricity to ships at berth. This paper presents the Green PORT project that aims to establish an energy management system for a green energy port.
