THE PROJECT

Ports are hubs connecting different types of transport systems at global and regional level. However, transshipment operations and passengers’ mobility have significant impact on the environment, especially on air quality, water and noise pollution as well as CO₂ emissions

For this reason, ports can act as drivers for the implementation of more efficient and greener transport policies. In particular, ports can increase their sustainability by following a methodology that helps them in detecting their environmental impact and identify ways to reduce their carbon and ecological footprint.

THE SCOPE

The SUPAIR project responds to such challenge by supporting port authorities in the implementation of low-carbon and multimodal transport and mobility solutions within a macro-regional context. It aims to establish a network of ADRION low-carbon ports committed to exchange on good practices regarding soft and hard environment-friendly solutions for a greener, safer and more efficient transport system.

Furthermore, a common step by step Transnational Methodology, will serve as a basis to develop 7 action plans, which are designed to take into consideration the individual local ports operations and needs, for sustainable and low-carbon port, covering a broad range of fields (clean shipping, green upgrading of port machinery, installation of emission control systems, truck flow management, etc.).

Benefits for the involved territories are:

1.

Enhanced technical capacity for ports to plan and implement sustainable action plans.

2.

Low-carbon and environment-friendly port transport and mobility solutions.

3.

Increased empowerment of relevant local organizations and institutions.

OUR ROLE

We lead the development of an energy management database for the port of Thessaloniki. The software we provide is an intergral part of the Thessaloniki Ports Authority-ThPA Action Plan and it collects and processes primary energy and other data, imitating energy consumption and costs, based on energy bills and on-site inspections.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT DATABASE FEATURES

Plain and user-friendly environment with simple graphics and “clear” operation.

Quick an easy data and measurements.

Data stored: electricity, natural gas, liquid fuels, water and waste.

Automatic Calculation of CO₂ emissions per energy type.

Stores original bills in pdf format for cross validation of logged data.

Exports in csv, xls, pdf formats.

Diagrammatic representation of data.

Instant access to previous records.

3 user levels (Admin, Editor, Viewer).

Interoperable, upgradable, ready to accept new data flows.
