Second Session
Development of Green Ports for the transformation of port areas into productive districts seeking Zero emissions:

• International experiences in comparison
• Smart solutions to reduce emissions in port and improve the air quality in port cities

In collaboration with Assoporti

Thursday, 27th September

2 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Sala Perseide, The Maritime Station Congress Center, Naples

Introduction

Most national ports are located close to heavily urbanized areas whose ecological balance is at great risk. The emissions of ships and port facilities contribute, despite compliance with environmental regulations, to the deterioration of air quality. Yet, technological innovations, based on the digital integration of specific energy and environmental solutions, would offer competitive mitigation opportunities, provided that the environmental benefits they provide find a fair form of recognition in infrastructural decisions and operational choices.
The tendency to reduce environmental impacts is also a pre-requisite and a great ally for the development and consolidation of port waterfront redevelopment projects.

This conference intends to present:

• Emerging technologies and innovative solutions to effectively implement ambitious environmental objectives in ports, in compliance with the criteria of efficiency and competitiveness required by operators.
• Some emerging experiences related to the redevelopment of port waterfront as hinges of the ecological sea-port-city balance.

A final round table, with the participation of the Port System Authorities, intends to present the plans in the medium term and the pilot projects in progress, to discuss the main intervention options aimed both at reducing environmental impacts and developing new redevelopment projects of port spaces.

Main Topics

• Perspective of a circular economy for the sea-port-city system
• Development of the LNG infrastructure network
• Energy supply from renewable sources
• Reduction of CO2-equivalent emissions into the atmosphere
• Electric mobility within port areas
• Low consumption public lighting / redevelopment of buildings
• Technologies for the electrification of the docks and for the connection of ships in port
