70 percent carbon reduction by wind energy Danish port targets

A Danish port is on track to reach a 70% reduction in carbon emissions through the use of clean offshore wind energy and an energy management scheme, which is a first for the maritime industry. On Denmark's southwest coast, Port Esbjerg is collaborating with Honeywell on a robust carbon and energy management program that is aligned with Denmark's de-carbonization targets.

The first shore-to-ship power units were recently installed in port Esbjerg, allowing docked vessels to operate on renewable electricity generated by offshore wind turbines rather than onboard diesel generators. The shore-to-ship units can power several large vessels at the same time, and the calculates the carbon footprints of the vessels and can help reduce noise port can schedule and control operation and emissions using a device that pollution.

“There was no easy, off-the-shelf solution for our green transformation because of the size and complexity of our operation,” said Dennis Jul Pedersen, CEO of Port Esbjerg. “We collaborated with Honeywell to completely customize a framework that can monitor energy usage and emissions while also identifying areas for improvement.”

A cloud-based Honeywell Enacto Carbon and Energy Management system allows the port to track the pollution and resource usage of each power supply and vessel. The framework combines artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms with data collected from the port's energy-consuming and -producing properties.

If usage changes dramatically, the device sends an automatic message to the port office, indicating that any anomalies are detected automatically and action can be taken. Carbon emissions from ships are closely observed to reduce them by making operational investments in sustainable infrastructure, including the use of renewables and clean energy technologies in the future. Port Esbjerg can optimize its energy and carbon footprint in real-time based on the data produced.

Port Esbjerg and Honeywell will track and control water consumption and heating, as well as the pollution efficiency of businesses near the port, in the next step of the project. Large investments in electric vehicle technologies and hydrogen-powered cranes are also included in the program. By 2025, all port vehicles should be operated by electricity.
