Abstract

Sea Ports/harbours are regularly situated close to urban communities/local locations and are contrarily influencing the climate and environment, as far as air and water quality, noise, and emissions. To meet administrative prerequisites for air quality and the foundation of low emissions zones inside urban communities progressively necessitates that emissions for modern portable applications should be tended to. The environmental impressions from ports that are near urban places are high not just due to for the presence of shipping with huge diesel engines, yet additionally because of the huge length of loading and discharging of goods from these ships. Emissions from terminal port tasks related with electric power are assessed to contribute roughly 10% of the all-out port greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while emissions caused by ships at berth typically accounts for up to 30%, with the excess dominant part of emissions brought about by to ships generators. Most of seaports rely upon the national electric network as a wellspring of power for the domestic and ships’ electric demands. Therefore, this project is supporting the organization of sustainable power sources for seaport to diminish fuel consumption, increment the energy efficiency and to improve port activity. This project examines the chance of shifting ports from depending on the national grid electricity to green power-based ports. With expanding focus around both nearby and worldwide emissions, zero emissions arrangements that have a capacity surpassing current sustainable power sources are required. For such applications, the suitability and viability of fuel cell technologies, solar panels and offshore wind turbine should be assessed. Considering this appraisal, the most encouraging arrangements ought to be created and approved in the field. The project targets evaluating prospective decreases of ships’ emission of GHG notwithstanding the expected economic impact in case of applying various renewable energy technologies for seaports. As a case study, this project researches the possibility of changing Egyptian Ports over to be an eco- friendly port with the emphasis on technical, logistic, and financial prerequisites.
