EOPSA, A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
While in port, ships use their Auxiliary Engines (AE) to produce electricity.Shore-side energy (SSE) has the potential to eliminate ships engines emissions in ports and cities, reducing each pollutant by about 90% and greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, as well as reducing noise, vibration and engine wear-and-tear.
EOPSA' members are world experts that render OPS / SSE a reality: From design, innovations, permitting, incentives, EPCI, through to operations and maintenance, EOPSA’ members help deliver the electrification solutions a 21st century decarbonised port & port-city expects.
Decarbonisation through electrification and shore power not only serves upcoming EU legislation, but first and foremost, social, health and economic objectives.
Each elected official is keenly aware of the social cost associated with a port ecosystem pollution and the benefits of collaboration. EOPSA brings together those who can.
PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
I am thrilled to share the progress EOPSA, our Executive Committee, our Founding Members and Members have made over the past year.
Our community has grown significantly, welcoming prestigious new amazing experts and companies who share our vision of a decarbonized port and shipping industry.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to our five key advocacy points and reducing barriers to implementation ...
