This report explores the environmental impact of the shipping industry and investigates sustainable solutions. It begins by defining sustainable development and its goals, focusing on the need for renewable energy sources. The report then delves into non-fossil fuel alternatives, particularly Liquefied Biogas (LBG), discussing its benefits in reducing emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels. It also examines various environmental management tools and technologies available to shipping ports, categorizing them into port management, land activities, sea activities, and power and fuels. The report concludes by outlining how shipping port authorities can implement these tools to achieve emission reduction targets, emphasizing the importance of building support, identifying pollutants, setting reduction goals, and assessing control measures. The report highlights the crucial role of sustainable practices and the need for innovation in the shipping sector to minimize environmental harm and promote a sustainable future.
