Transport & Environment (T&E), a non-profit organisation that campaigns for clean transport, has published a ranking of European ports by carbon emissions. This shows that ports need to do more to make shipping cleaner. Rotterdam was categorised as Europe's port with the highest carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n
The port of Rotterdam, Europe's busiest seaport, emits almost 14 million tonnes of CO2 every year, putting it on a par with Europe's fifth largest industrial polluter - the Weisweiler coal-fired power plant in Germany, according to a new T&E study assessing the carbon emissions of ports.<\/p>\n
Antwerp and Hamburg are in second and third place, while three of the top 10 polluting ports are in Spain. T&E is calling on ports to support EU-wide efforts to reduce the climate impact of shipping as the industry reports record profits.<\/p>\n
The study assessed the carbon emissions from ships leaving and entering ports across the entire supply chain, as well as emissions from port activities such as loading, unloading and refuelling.<\/p>\n
According to T&E, the European Commission can help ports by channelling revenues from the upcoming carbon market into clean fuel infrastructure in ports. The group also calls on ports to support the EU Green Infrastructure Act (AFIR), which is currently being discussed in the European Parliament and the Council and whose final text is expected in the second half of 2022.<\/p>\n
