This #maritime news caught our eye: The EPA is launching a $3 billion fund for zero-emission port infrastructure and equipment, with an emphasis on projects that benefit surrounding communities. This is great news for #ports, which have a vital role to play in our expanding #green #shipping #infrastructure. #port #CleanPortsFund #EPA #zeroemission #climate #supplychain #shippingindustry #maritimeindustry #marineindustry #cargo

Did you catch the most recent SYSTRA X Landor LINKS Ltd Planning Transport Futures Today webinar on transport decarbonisation? It's not clear how any government plans to fund and deliver a sustainable transport system in the near future. And, governance for net zero mobility is very complex and politically risky. Our panellists discussed where we should focus our resources for the biggest impacts, discussing the pros and cons of key policy areas, and asking: 🤔 Are the current strategies going far enough? 💭 What do we need to change? 💡 With a general election just around the corner, what should the government’s approach be? Watch back the webinar to hear David Connolly on improved demand management, Jorgen Pedersen on accelerating low carbon motive power, Neill Birch on investing in public transport, and Tristan Smith on decarbonising freight: https://loom.ly/J3iK19Q Sally M. #transportwebinar #transport #futureoftransport #netzero #transportdecarbonisation #decarbonisation #climatechange #sustainability #sustainabletransport #transportstrategy #transportstrategies #transportpolicy #transportpolicies #publictransport #freight #demandmanagement #publictransport #lowcarbon #carbonreduction #generalelection

The future of port electrification is now The time for talking about alternative powering of ports has passed. Lauren Brand, CEO of Strong Port Strategies, will be moderating two conference panels at next week’s Port Electrification US Conference at The Westin Long Beach on June 25-26, 2024. The panel on Port Electrification will explore the perspectives of forward-thinking Port Authority and Terminal Operator leaders who are taking action to address the complexity of electrifying core port operations while maintaining a cost-and-energy efficient infrastructure. They will be sharing and discussing the opportunities, issues, performance, and solutions of the electrification challenge they have found so far. Lauren will also be moderating a panel on Federal Funding Support, which will be essential in achieving the transformation to port electrification, along with the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders.   For the latest agenda, and to secure your delegate pass, visit the conference website at https://lnkd.in/gZxRWHBU   #cleanenergy #maritimeindustry #renewableenergy #environmentalsustainability #climateaction

Can the Isle of Man achieve energy independence? It might sound ambitious, but with the right mix of public and private sector collaboration and community backing, it's within reach! Read all about it in a two-part article to explore how we can make this vision a reality.

On Thursday 6th of June in the Cobh Community Centre from 11am till 2pm Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications will host a Public information event on the proposed #DMAP Designated Maritime Area Plan - This is your opportunity to ask questions, find out how the plan will benefit you and your community and of course how it all works. I have met all the team and they are very engaging. The #DMAP is a result of The Government Led Approach, a steady approach hence it has taken time as a lot of research, due diligence and listening has gone into the plan. #greenenergy is our future, we, the current generation are laying down the foundation for a #cleanfuture for the next generation and generations to come. The benefits are just enormous - #cleanair, #energysecurity #employment and #communityenhancement. #corkharbour is well positioned to be the #renewableenergyhub off the south coast - we have all the ingredients right on our doorstep - Port of Cork Company Ltd.

🚢⚡ The future of ports is electrifying! September 2024 marks a pivotal moment for port electrification, with major initiatives driving sustainable and efficient operations across the U.S. In Washington State, $26.5 million is allocated to 11 ports through the Port Electrification Grant Program, aiming to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 140,000+ metric tons in the next decade. Embracing shore power systems and expanding electric vehicle infrastructure signifies a substantial shift towards cleaner port operations. On the West Coast, California's $1.2 billion investment in port infrastructure, with a focus on zero-emission projects at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, not only boosts port capacity but also reduces environmental impacts and modernizes supply chain operations. 🔌 At Kempower, we're thrilled to lead this revolution by offering cutting-edge electrification solutions that drive the future of ports. The momentum is undeniable—now is the time for ports worldwide to embrace electrification and propel the transition towards a greener maritime industry. #PortElectrification #SustainableShipping #GreenEnergy #Kempower #CleanPorts

As this week draws to a close, it’s nice to be reminded of how we’re fortunate at Sweco that practically every week feels like #NetZeroWeek as we continue to pursue evermore climate efficient solutions across a wide variety of sectors. As a Net zero Carbon Consultancy we pride ourselves on playing a key role in the green transition as governments, local authorities & other businesses are developing net zero strategies to reduce their carbon emissions. But what does ‘net zero’ really mean and how does it apply to infrastructure design, organisational operations & city-scale planning?
