The SHORE Project (ANID/ATE230035)
Reduce emissions with the implementation of smart ports.
The SHORE project’s central research hypothesis is that seaports and marine vessels are one of the main responsible for high carbon footprint and contaminating emissions in coastal areas, especially near highly
trafficked ports. To reduce these emissions, smart ports can be implemented, increasing the vessels electrification and integrating renewable energies and storage systems technologies based on geographical characteristics as well as consider hydrogen production as an effective storage system.
Project financed by Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo ANID.
Objectives
Increasing the vessels electrification and integrating renewable energies.
