Sustainable Port Decarbonisation Services

Ports play a pivotal role in global trade. The maritime industry is at a critical juncture, faced with environmental challenges like never before. Port decarbonisation is no longer a choice, but an imperative for sustainability. Our Port Decarbonisation Services are designed to guide you on this transformational journey towards eco-conscious and efficient ports. With our expertise and experience, we empower you to reduce emissions, enhance operational efficiency, and secure a more sustainable future for your port.

Port Decarbonisation

WHY DECARBONISE YOUR PORT?

Securing Grant Funding: Being able to prove that your port has a net zero roadmap increases your chance of securing funding for advanced technology, equipment and solutions.
Regulatory Compliance: Evolving global and regional regulations legislate the shipping sector to reach net zero by 2050.
Increased Attractiveness for Investment: Sustainability can lead to cost savings, attract eco-conscious partners, and bolster your reputation.
Enhanced Efficiency: Analysing port operations and implementing new technology will improve efficiency and cut costs within your port.

Why decarbonize your port

AVAILABLE FUNDING

With the recent announcement of $3 billion Clean Ports Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a huge effort is underway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from port activities and improve air quality. The first step of any decarbonisation plan is to map out baseline emissions, and this can be complex for Ports with many, separate stakeholders. This is where Tunley’s experience and expertise can come in. Tunley has been successfully delivering the Port of Detroit decarbonisation project, where private terminals have no reporting obligations. Despite this and other challenges, we successfully collected raw data from 14 out of the 18 terminals, with individualized net zero plans for each terminal.

Tunley is motivated to work on similar, high impact projects. If you are seeking support form an organization with expertise in applying for funding, engaging stakeholders, baseline emissions reporting and related technical services, do reach out using the information on the ‘contact us’ page.

A PORT DECARBONISATION CASE STUDY

The Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority is undergoing an ambitious decarbonisation project in collaboration with Tunley Environmental, which will reduce the port’s environmental impact, and improve sustainability for Detroit and the surrounding area. The project is implementing a range of innovative technologies and methods to reduce emissions and promote cleaner energy sources, the electrification of port equipment, and the use of cleaner fuels, positioning the Detroit Port Authority as a leader in sustainable port operations. View the project in more detail.
