Research on Port Shore Power Advance Path Under the Background of Carbon Neutral in China

Abstract

China's carbon emission peaking and carbon neutral strategy has become a national strategy. Port is the key unit of carbon emission, the carbon emission of berthing ships accounts for more than 60% of the total carbon emission of the port, therefore, it is very important to promote the use of shore power by ships to reach the carbon emission peaking of port. This paper aims at the problems of low utilization rate of shore power, small number of ship shore power facilities and low willingness of ship to connect port shore power. Through the scenario analysis method, the problems of shore power utilization economy were deeply analyzed, and through investigation and comparative analysis, the shore power propulsion path of the port was studied. The following measures were put forward: 1. Increase the proportion of state capital award for ship shore power facilities;2. Pilot project of compulsory use of shore power in key areas;3. Promoting the use of port low voltage shore power;4. Give full play to the supervision and management role of local government in the construction and use of shore power. This paper provides technical support for improving the utilization rate of port and ship shore power, these measures will greatly reduce the carbon emissions of ships in the port area, and contribute to China's carbon emission peaking in 2030 and carbon neutral in 2060.
