Energy Transition and the Circular Economy
Innovative and sustainable solutions for energy and industry in city-port regions
Committing the City Port territory to achieving a low carbon, low resources society, through the transformation of industrial production, and the production and management of carbon-neutral, renewable energies.
How to secure low-carbon energy sources for port-city territories and optimise energy use?
Water, present by definition in all port territories, is a natural asset and energy source. Faced with the challenge of climate change, using water in port basins as an energy source represents a sustainable economic concept that port cities can exploit. Different technologies can be used to generate electricity, such as mini hydroelectric plants, watermills, ocean waves, and geothermal energy. In Marseille, two projects use marine geothermal-related networks to suppress the energy demand of growing districts in a renewable way.
This good practice also includes objective 9.2 (Optimising the use and management of fresh and seawater in ports) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
