据3月11日offshore energy消息:能源和海洋咨询公司AqualisBraemar LOC (ABL)开发了一种软件,可以让港口跟踪其排放概况,计算其碳足迹的成本,并确定可持续发展的未来路线图。
该数字解决方案名为emiTr,基于港口排放工具箱,使港口能够了解其排放状况的复杂性,从而根据国家和国际减排目标采取果断行动。
ABL的海事主管保罗·马丁表示,emiTr提供了港口排放的数字清单,列出了直接和间接来源,并确定了单个排放者的概况。
如前所述,数据被上传到软件中,计算出港口运营过程中排放的污染物和温室气体量。该系统还检索由英国和欧盟排放交易计划(ETS)确定的碳的实时市场价格,并使用它来为二氧化碳排放分配货币价值。
该门户确定并计算三种不同的排放范围,港口控制下的直接排放、间接排放和不在港口直接控制下的间接排放。
“尽管目前没有专门要求港口减少排放的立法,但作为国家计划的一部分,港口必须现在就开始了解自己的状况。emiTr将帮助港口和其他海事设施,如造船厂、海上风电场,甚至石油和天然气行业,走在趋势的前面,确定他们的碳足迹,以便他们能够采取明智的行动”,马丁解释道。
该解决方案是与Shoreham Port合作设计的,Shoreham Port将其视为了解其影响的重要数据,并计划使用这些数据为未来的决策提供信息,以减少港口足迹的污染。

ABL rolls out emission tracking software for seaport industry
Energy and marine consultancy AqualisBraemar LOC (ABL) has developed a software that allows ports and harbours to track their emission profiles, calculate the cost of their carbon footprint and identify a roadmap ahead for sustainable development.
The digital solution called emiTr is based on Port Emissions Toolkit and enables ports to understand the complex nature of their emissions’ profile, so they can take decisive action in line with national and international reduction targets.
According to ABL’s maritime director Paul Martin, the emiTr provides a digital inventory of the port’s emissions, mapping out both direct and indirect sources, and identifies the profile of individual emitters.
As explained, data is uploaded into the software, where the amount of pollutants and greenhouse gases emitted through the port’s operations are calculated. The system also retrieves the live market price of carbon determined by UK and EU Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) and uses it to assign a monetary value to the CO2e emissions.
The portal identifies and calculates three different scopes of emitters – direct emissions under the port’s control, indirect emissions and indirect emissions which are not under the direct control of the port.
“Although currently there is no legislation that specifically requires ports to reduce their emissions, in anticipation and as part of national plans, ports must start now to understand their profile. emiTr will help ports and other maritime facilities such as shipyards, offshore wind sites, and even the oil and gas industry, to get ahead of the curve and identify their carbon footprint, so they can take informed action”, Martin explains.
The solution was designed in collaboration with Shoreham Port, which sees it as important data to understand the impact it makes, and plans to use this data to inform decisions in the future to reduce pollution across the port’s footprint.
