Energy Transition and the Circular Economy
Innovative and sustainable solutions for energy and industry in city-port regions
Giving priority to circular economy projects as part of new partnerships between the city, port, businesses and civil society, and by supporting the development of port activities aimed at promoting exchanges and/or recycling of materials and energy.
How can port authorities reduce energy consumption?
To combat climate change effectively, it’s crucial to find innovative ways to enhance the energy efficiency of both ports and cities. In 2013, the Atlantic Port of Bordeaux shifted its focus towards regional sustainability objectives, initiating efforts to facilitate an energy transition. Positive Energy and Economy Port (PÉÉPOS) seeks to encourage cooperation among diverse industrial entities and local communities, establishing innovative clusters to collaboratively redefine the future of the port.
The Atlantic Port of Bordeaux changed its regional sustainability goals and started by finding ways for energy transition in 2013. One of its significant initiatives, supported by the European Union's SUNRISE project under the European Union's Research and Innovation program, is a POSitive Energy and Economy Port (PÉÉPOS, Port à Energie et à Économie Positives). PÉÉPOS aims to foster collaboration among various industrial stakeholders and communities, creating forward-looking clusters to collectively shape a new port.
