Clean Tyne devises strategy for “green” UK ports

A clear roadmap for a “smart” and “green” port of Tyne and other ports in the United Kingdom has been created by Clean Tyne, UK’s Clean Maritime Demonstration consortium.

Port of Tyne, Siemens, Newcastle University, North East Local Enterprise Partnership and Connected Places Catapult are involved in the project, with their technical know-how, academic research and industry-wide knowledge to determine a path to net zero emissions activated by a real-time digital platform.

In fact, this project towards decarbonisation has the potential to be replicated in other port environments as well as in other industries.

The digital platform is expected to become crucial throughout the port’s zero carbon footprint, supporting business creation, scenario planning and investment cases. It will also allow the project consortium to assess the port’s technical, environmental and economic impacts in the future.

The consortium is aiming for four changes that need to be made in total to achieve a net zero of 2050:

  • Energy Generation and Asset Electrification
  • Understanding of Business Model
  • Digital Platform Development
  • Infrastructure Development

While this roadmap sets out a possible timetable for implementing changes to meet the 2050 target, it is likely to adapt, depending on the evolving world and market, according to a statement.
