Island Ports Enable Long-Distance Electric Shipping
International shipping contributes to CO2, NO2, and SO2 emissions. Pollution from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), colloquially termed bunker fuel, has long been considered a problem. Heavy Fuel Oil has high sulfur content, and the global shipping industry produces 12% and 13% respectively of global SO2 and NO2 emissions, contributing a … [continued]

30 Years Later: The Port That Turned Batteries, Data, and Wind into New Profit
By the time a port reaches the twenty-year mark on a thirty-year decarbonization roadmap the engineering problems are largely solved and the hard infrastructure is mostly in place; what remains is equal parts disciplined execution, digital finesse and opportunistic scaling. This logical progression builds upon the successful groundwork established in the … [continued]
