Barcelona Zero Carbon

Thursday, May 27, 2021

My list

With its decarbonization, the Port of Barcelona aims to achieve emission neutrality by 2050. The challenge is to achieve a balance between sustainability, competitiveness, and growth. The decarbonization of the port activity will also allow influencing the logistics chains used by the port and its agents. The electrification of docks to allow ships to connect, energy transition plans based on the generation of renewable energies and the promotion of sustainable mobility, … are just a few examples of the ambitious projects being carried out by the Port to achieve its goals.

This side event was organized by: Smart Ports: Piers of the Future and it was part of the program "Focus Sessions #2 – DATA CHANGES EVERYTHING: SMART(ER) INFRASTRUCTURE RULES OUR WORLD".

SMART PORTS: PIERS OF THE FUTURE

The Smart Ports: Piers of the Future is an annual congress linked with the Smart City Expo World Congress, the main international summit on smart cities and urban solutions. For the first time in 2019, six leading ports in the world, Antwerp, Barcelona, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Montreal and Rotterdam, got together to link both concepts: Smart Cities and Smart Ports. In 2020, the Busan Port Authority joined the cause as one of the leading ports in Asia. It is a congress on innovation, sustainability and digital transformation. Some of the most innovative ports of the world share their innovative projects on Drones, Digital Twins, Green Smart Ports and Smart Port Cities among many others, while painting a picture of how our future should be. More sustainable, efficient and connected.
