Joan Calabuig, the new president of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), has reiterated Valenciaport\u2019s commitment to economic, environmental and social values in order to become a benchmark model for infrastructure in Spain by 2030. <\/p>\n
\u201dWe want to be the most sustainable port in Europe and a reference in the world. We want to be leaders in energy transfer,\u201d he said, as as he officially took up office, replacing Aurelio Mart\u00ednez.<\/p>\n
For this reason, we are going to take a leap forward in the ports of Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia in photovoltaic installations, energy self-sufficiency, the use of hydrogen, the electrification of the docks or the railway connection, increasing the weight of the train in the movement of goods.\u201d<\/p>\n
Social commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr Calabuig stressed that the port is an essential aspect of special interest for citizens and administrations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to listen, dialogue, minimise and contribute to the harmonious development of our environment. There are many more areas of agreement based on the conviction that no one is completely right and everyone is partially right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He highlighted the strategic objective of Valenciaport 2030 to achieve zero emissions in which the entire port community and society must work together and be united.<\/p>\n On an economic front, the ports of Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia are connected to 1,000 sites around the world where 35 shipping companies operate, which as a fundamental impact on the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n In Valenciaport, the commercial exchange of an area that represents 55% of the GDP and 40% of all exports and imports by sea transport in Spain takes place, a strategic and essential infrastructure for the Valencian Community, Spain and Europe.<\/p>\n For this reason, Mr Calabuig said that the ports must be up to major investments such as the Power-Co gigafactory that Volkswagen is promoting, but also to its exporters in sectors such as ceramics, agri-food or textiles and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Valenciaport has big ambitions – it wants to become the the most sustainable port in Europe and this includes being at the forefront of the energy transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[444,130,670,1000,1001,71,189],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","tag-csr","tag-emissions","tag-energy-transition","tag-port-authority-of-valencia","tag-society","tag-sustainability","tag-valenciaport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3273"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3275,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3273\/revisions\/3275"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3273"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
