Technical FAQs 4

Are container terminals sustainable?

Sustainable development of container terminals is based on energy efficiency and reduction in CO 2 emissions. This study estimated the energy consumption and CO 2 emissions in container terminals according to their layouts.

How can ports reduce energy costs?

ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.

Why is energy storage a critical port function?

Ensuring availability of these electrical resources to meet loads which are intermittent and uncertain is becoming a critical port function. It requires investment in multi-vector energy supply chains, energy storage in ports and their associated energy management systems.

How is energy used in container terminals?

Energy used in container terminals are obtained from the electricity and fuels, mainly diesel. Container cranes are the only equipment that uses electricity. Here, energy consumption data was obtained from historical records of the fuel and electricity consumptions at the destination terminal.
