This FREE webinar kicks off a 3-part series on Enabling Green Ports. In this first webinar, we will tackle the challenges of energy security.
Energy security is one of the key challenges ports face in their journey to net zero. As the 2022 international energy price spike showed, external factors can cause operating costs to surge. Renewables have the benefit of being nationally or locally based, reducing reliance on global energy markets. Ports are ideally placed to develop their own renewable generating capacity. However, renewables are ‘intermittent’, in line with fluctuating daily and seasonal weather patterns. This calls for energy storage and microgrid management.
