We invite you to delve into these interviews and explore the wealth of knowledge shared by industry leaders.
GREEK ISLANDS AS CRUCIAL TESTBEDS FOR PORT DECARBONIZATION INITIATIVES
Islands are on the frontline of climate change, facing significant challenges like rising sea levels, extreme weather events, water scarcity, drought, and coastal corrosion. In the same time insularity often causes dependency on imported fossil fuels and high energy and transportation costs.
Greek islands boast abundant renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, and wave energy. Harnessing these resources to cover the energy demand not only reduces carbon emissions but also enhances energy security and can reduce costs. By adapting to the unique geography of the islands, clean energy solutions can be optimized to meet the specific needs of island port facilities.
WHAT ARE ZERO-EMISSIONS VESSELS?
Zero-emissions vessels are vessels that emits no greenhouse gasses or pollutants during its operation. Unlike fossil fuel powered ships, zero emission ships do this by utilizing propulsion systems which generate usable kinetic energy using alternative fuels. The ideal choice of technology is determined by vessel size, power requirements, and operational profile, and fuel availability.
