Abstract
In business-as-usual scenarios, the carbon dioxide (CO2) foot print from global maritime shipping is estimated to rise up to 50% in 2050; in 2018 levels this accounts for 1,500 Mt [6]. The contribution of smart ports towards reducing air emissions comprises achieving higher operational efficiency. However, since air emissions monitoring is diversified in the maritime ports domain, it is difficult to obtain (comparable) emissions inventories (EIs) and judge upon the quality of air emissions monitoring as a whole of one or many ports. We understand this paper as a contribution to the monitoring component of green and smart ports, for which we propose a shared platform to create EIs frequently, foster standardization, transparency and comparability, and provide the basis for assessing the quality of emissions monitoring quality. The evaluation suggests potentials regarding, e.g., EIs standardization and frequency, and motivates further investigation such as integrating port tenants.
