Exploring the cost and emissions impacts, feasibility and
In this study, we model life-cycle costs and GHG emissions from shipping electrification, leveraging ship activity datasets from across the United States in 2021.
HOME / Cost of Grid-Connected Solar-Powered Container Ships at US Ports
In this study, we model life-cycle costs and GHG emissions from shipping electrification, leveraging ship activity datasets from across the United States in 2021.
From electric forklifts to hybrid blue-water ships, ports adopting comprehensive electrification can reduce costs up to 70% and emissions by over 90%.
This study assesses in detail the energy demand, CO₂ emissions, and renewable energy infrastructure required to electrify container ships operating from Los Angeles Harbor (LAH)
CLIA estimates that equipping ships and retrofitting berths with the necessary technology will cost millions. Ports are hesitant to invest without a guarantee that ships will use
While initially considered difficult to adapt to marine environments, continuous advancements in materials science and engineering are yielding more robust, efficient and
Discover how solar energy is being integrated into cargo ships to reduce fuel consumption, cut emissions, and pave the way for sustainable maritime transport. Learn about
In a press release, the City of Newark stated that the project will generate a significant amount of solar energy from 7.8 acres of elevated photovoltaic solar panels on
Financially, the initial cost of solar installation and retrofitting existing fleets with solar technology presents a steep barrier, with expenses ranging into the millions depending
Resilience – Cargo activities at US seaports generate over $5T in economic activity, equal to 26% of the U.S. economy [1]. They are also gateways to critical supplies, particularly in the case of
