Energy efficiency and circularity
能源效率和循环性
For example, by using residual energy flows, such as heat or CO2, as raw materials in other processes so as to minimize wasted resourcesus"> Renewable energy and raw materials 可再生能源和原材料 The port is equipped with solar panels, wind turbines and hydrogen plants which all generate power for terminals, ships, and local residents in an environmentally friendly way It captures sunlight and converts it into heat which can be stored in insulated containers 安特卫普港拥有欧洲第一个集中式太阳能热电厂。它能吸收阳光并将其转化为热能,并储存在绝缘的容器中。这样的热电厂产生的能量是光伏太阳能板的三倍,而且完全不含二氧化碳。 The port also allows for the loading and unloading of ships carrying liquefied natural gas, which is a greener alternative to heavy fuel oil 安特卫普-布鲁日港也有自己的船队和其它船只,它们正在大力投资于具有替代性的、更可持续的能源的整合,如氢气和甲醇等。 With all these initiatives, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is not only being more sustainable itself, but it is now also a leading example of implementing a green transition in the traditional transport and shipping industryus">
