The project involves decarbonising maritime emissions by rolling out the UK\u2019s first commercial electric ship along with supporting infrastructure including a charging network and clean power access.<\/p>\n<p>NatPower Marine will invest an estimated \u00a3100m to develop charging infrastructure across all eight UK and Irish ports operated by Peel Ports Group. The network will support the Group\u2019s ambition of cold ironing, which enables the ship to access clean power while docked to reduce emissions and engine pollution while at port, as well as electric propulsion. The new funding forms part of wider plans from NatPower Marine to set up a \u00a33bn global charging network for ships across 120 port locations by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>NatPower Marine\u2019s chief executive Stefano Sommadossi said: \u201cNatPower Marine is investing to deploy the largest global network of charging points to help solve the \u2018chicken and egg conundrum\u2019 facing this industry: shipping lines cannot electrify their vessels if port charging infrastructure is not available, and ports are unable to raise capital for charging infrastructure without certainty of demand from shipping lines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith marine trade set to triple by 2050, we urgently need to build the global network of clean energy charging infrastructure the industry desperately needs. Our partnership with Peel Ports Group is the first step in this strategic approach to accelerate the adoption of clean energy in shipping and help cargo owners to reach net-zero.\u201d The master plan would also enable electric car, van and HGV charging for any commercial vehicles passing through the ports.<\/p>\n<p>The UK was one of more than a dozen nations signing a new declaration on the creation of zero-emission shipping routes between ports at COP26. The so-called \u2018Clydebank Declaration\u2019 is aiming to establish at least six corridors by the mid-2020s, which are likely to be shorter routes, and to add \u201cmany more routes\u201d, including long-haul routes, by 2030. The first Irish Sea routes identified in the NatPower Marine investment would include Belfast-Heysham and Dublin-Birkenhead. More than 3,000 vessels cross the Irish sea annually and emissions from these routes account for 230,000 tonnes of CO2, as well as 18,000 tonnes of sulphur oxide.<\/p>\n<p>More broadly, Peel Port Group aims to have its Heysham Port in Lancashire become the UK\u2019s first \u2018net-zero port\u2019. Earlier this year, Peel Ports Group announced plans to work with E.ON to install up to 63,000 solar panels across the Port\u2019s rooftops, including on the roof of the new Alexandra Dock Warehouse.<\/p>\n<p>More than 6,000 of these panels have already been delivered and it is hoped that the entire array will be completed by the summer of 2026. The solar array is expected to be the largest of its kind in the UK and meet up to a quarter of the Port\u2019s annual electricity needs, with a capacity of up to 31MW. The exact number of panels and their capacity will be confirmed in the final designs.<\/p>\n<p>Peel Ports Group\u2019s chief executive Claudio Veritiero said: \u201cThe proposals presented as part of this partnership are potentially game-changing, and fully support our ambitions to become a net-zero port operator by 2040. \u201cWe look forward to working closely with NatPower Marine to explore the possibilities for establishing the first green shipping corridor between the UK and Ireland, and further enabling support for our customers, shipping lines and hauliers as they transition to a greener future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/plans-unveiled-for-uks-first-green-shipping-corridor\/\">edie.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/plans-unveiled-for-uks-first-green-shipping-corridor\/\">Plans unveiled for UK\u2019s first green shipping corridor<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,14638,579],"class_list":["post-130686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-green-shippin","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130686\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
