New Climeport emissions study launched
France’s Marseilles Fos and Italy’s Livorno port authorities are to team up to manage a research project on management tools to monitor and estimate greenhouse gas emissions by ports.
One of three pilot projects being launched, the study is the latest stage of the Climeport environmental initiative.
Climeport was set up in May 2009 by six Mediterranean ports in conjunction with regional energy suppliers and academics.
In the other studies, the Piraeus and Koper (Slovenia) authorities are to define the selection criteria for port tenants and suppliers with regard to climate change considerations, while Algeciras and Valencia are to evaluate the role of energy-efficient systems in mitigating climate change.
All three projects are due for completion next April.
