A total of 42 companies operating in the Valencian port areas are currently participating in the port’s decarbonisation project Valenciaport 2030, zero emissions.
Specifically, as the Valencia Port explains, the decarbonisation initiative, promoted by the Port Authority of Valencia (APV), is made up of logistics and port companies that wish to optimise the environmental status of the ports of Valencia, Sagunto, and Gandia.
The companies that make up the Ecoport II Environmental Committee have described their participation in a total of nine environmental objectives for free compliance:
- Increase in the percentage of recovered waste
- Reduction of water consumption by 1%
- Reduction of fuel consumption by 1%
- Reduction of electricity consumption by 1%
- Use of alternative energy sources
- Calculation of the carbon footprint
- Participation in environmental initiatives
- Identification of the circular economy
- Adaptation to climate change.
At the meeting held to take stock of the first half of the year, they reviewed the environmental objectives and analysed their involvement in the Valenciaport 2030, zero emissions strategy, reviewing the commitments acquired and which are additional to the Environmental Management System of each of them.
Likewise, a review was made of some of the initiatives that the APV has underway to become a 100% green port by 2030: H2PORTS, Green C Ports, Ecclipse, Samoa 2, Ealing and Zero Emissions Plan 2030. In addition, the actions based on renewable energies and the decarbonisation plans were detailed.
