EXperts Panel on Polluting Emissions Reduction (EXPAPER 2024)
Presented on November 8, 2024 at ACI in Rome as part of the EXperts Panel on Polluting Emissions Reduction (EXPAPER 2024) the work Emissioni delle navi nei porti liguri: trend, COVID, proiezioni e implementazione Area NECA.
The work describes the emissions of air pollutants in Ligurian ports in 2021, discussing the effects of prolonged ship stops in port due to COVID. Subsequently, future emissions are estimated by evaluating the effects of increased traffic, regulations and electrification of ports. Finally, the effects of a hypothetical introduction of a NECA area (nitrogen oxide emission control area) are discussed.
