Piraeus Port Authority (PPA) has published its Action Plan for a Sustainable and low-carbon port using common transnational methodology developed within the framework of SUPAIR project. The Action Plan of PPA was developed focusing on the introduction of low carbon technologies in port activities and the reduction of carbon footprint based on two key interventions:
* Tools for the Monitoring and Measures for the Reduction of Carbon Footprint
* Energy Management Planning and measures for the improvement of PPA’s energy efficiency
The Action Plan is based on the operational conditions of the port of Piraeus, existing legislation, PPA’s strategic agenda, future needs of the port, ongoing and planned activities and respective investments. The planning approach provides the proper setting for the detailed description of the two interventions taking into consideration all available planning instruments at the local and regional level.
The implementation of the Action Plan is expected to constitute the basis for the sustainable development of Piraeus Port in the future, paying particular attention to the environmental protection, which is directly linked to economic viability and growth but also quality of life.
