PortXchange is developing the EmissionInsider platform with the aim of improving emissions management in ports. This platform helps ports not only calculate their greenhouse gas emissions but also predict the impacts of future investment decisions.
Development of New Features for EmissionInsider
PortXchange is working to enhance the operational needs of ports by adding new features to EmissionInsider. These features include monitoring emissions across multiple transport modes, emissions forecasting, scenario modeling, and carbon reduction planning with the help of artificial intelligence. These measures enable ports to use emissions-related information to guide their operational and investment decisions.
The Necessity of Close Collaboration in Ports
Sjoerd de Jager, CEO and co-founder of PortXchange, believes that the industry has long viewed emissions reporting as the end of the process. He stated, "If the information is in a report that no one uses for decision-making, we must ask what we have achieved. Ports need to know where they can make a difference and what it will cost."
Eugene Sypachev, head of engineering at PortXchange, emphasizes the need for closer collaboration between sustainability teams and operational teams. He notes that many ports today have engaged in two separate dialogues about sustainability and operations that are not sufficiently connected.
Examining the Multiple Impacts of Transportation
While the maritime industry has focused more on emissions from ships, other sources such as trucks, rail movements, and loading equipment also have significant impacts. PortXchange is developing the multimodal transportation capabilities of EmissionInsider to help ports gain better visibility into the activities that produce the most greenhouse gases.
New features will be gradually introduced, allowing ports to continue reporting emissions based on their needs. The modular design of EmissionInsider allows ports to select the products they need and make data settings and integrations according to their carbon reduction priorities.
