Microgrid | Port of San Diego
Continued electrification of maritime operations helps the Port improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) on the terminal
To support this swift, green container terminals have emerged as an effective response to cope with the increasing concern over maritime transport's environmental impact.
Most existing reviews on environmental sustainability in container terminals are focused primarily on academic research. However, a significant gap exists in examining and analyzing real-world projects and initiatives.
Terminals increasingly incorporate microgrids, integrating renewable energy sources (e.g., wind and solar). Looking ahead, the agenda should involve exploiting this direction while deepening the integration of the terminal's energy management with operations planning to dynamically and intelligently balance supply and demand.
A review that collects and consolidates lessons learned from past and ongoing practical implementations in greening terminals would enhance the synergy between research and industry practices, driving further advancements toward greener operations at container terminals.
