ESA Port Decarbonisation and Environmental Sustainability Workshop, Belfast, September 2024
Belfast Harbour hosted a one-day workshop on behalf of The European Space Agency (ESA) and the United Kingdom Space Agency (UKSA). The event examined the needs and priorities of the port sector around the themes of decarbonisation and sustainability and explored possible roles for current and emerging space data and services in supporting the green transition of port ecosystems.
The workshop looked at industry requirements for decarbonisation in known priority areas including onshore power, green shipping corridors and uptake of renewable energy solutions. It also examined efficiency gains achievable through digitalisation of port operations , including monitoring the impact of decarbonisation on port air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and water quality. Participants also explored emerging solutions enabled by space data and services and their potential for commercial exploitation by the port industry.
