This strategic move will result in a significant reduction of over four tonnes of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to the distance covered by the vehicle in its annual 36,000-kilometre rounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to the environmental benefits, with the significant reduction in carbon emissions, the 100% electric vehicle will have its batteries recharged at Porto\u2019s own facilities, eliminating the need to travel to gas station,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Aur\u00e9lio Kalfeld, port security manager, Porto Itapo\u00e1.<\/p>\n
Green partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n Porto Itapo\u00e1 adapted the electric vehicles to carry out motorised security patrols on the terminal\u2019s premises in partnership with the surveillance company Segurpro.<\/p>\n Mr Kalfeld said that recharging the vehicle within the port itself has an important impact on operational efficiency.<\/p>\n \u201cRisks related to trips to the gas station are avoided. Furthermore, we will not have the absence of a security professional at the terminal, which would occur during the supply period,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Porto Itapo\u00e1 has long been demonstrating its commitment to the energy transition. <\/p>\n In 2023 and for the second time, the port won the gold seal of the GHG Protocol, a program implemented in Brazil by the Center for Sustainability Studies of Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Get\u00falio Vargas (FGVces) in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment.<\/p>\n This was largely in part to its US$40 million autonomous RTG project. The new remote-control ZPMC RTGs can consume up to three times less fuel than conventional ones.<\/p>\n Also in 2023, Porto Itapo\u00e1 changed its energy acquisition policy opting to consume, in its new contracts, only energy from renewable sources.<\/p>\n The transaction is certified by I-REC(e), a global renewable energy attribute tracking system designed to facilitate reliable accounting of renewable energy that is attributed to the consumer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brazil\u2019s Porto Itapo\u00e1 is going electric with its port security fleet and decarbonising its operations at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4085,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,46],"tags":[596,1014,97,118,130,23,1357],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-autonomy","tag-brazil","tag-electric-vehicles","tag-electrification","tag-emissions","tag-port-equipment","tag-porto-itapoa"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4084","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=4084"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4086,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4084\/revisions\/4086"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4084"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
