Optimization of Port Layout to Determine Greenhouse Gas Emission Gaps

Ports are of great strategic importance for a country. Nowadays, compliance with environmental requirements is required, forcing the migration towards clean energies. Therefore, it necessary emerging ports, as those in developed countries, to incorporate their policies use electric power machinery that moves containers terminals. To learn how problem addressed other an extensive bibliographic review presented. Then, energy and criteria group ports country European port studied. Subsequently, order determine gaps between investigated, layout cargo yard each terminals optimized; emissions Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Greenhouse Gases (GHG) gases calculated; finally, decrease when switching from diesel electricity estimated. The operational related management countries discussed. It concluded research needed investigate these initiatives impact city improve sustainable aspects.
