  Introduction GISGRO Green is a digital emission calculation tool for ports. It enables calculation of emissions, such as greenhouse gases and other air pollution, from different sources in the port area. Calculations are based on EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebooks. The data can be gathered and input manually or automatically via integrations, and the input data and possible background information on technical details affect the accuracy of results.

Emission sources

• Work equipment emissions

  Overview Work equipment emissions consists of fuel consumption of working equipment / vehicles in the port area, for example bulldozers, cranes or generators. You can see the visualisation of trends in the current and previous years in the first graph, and compare the emissions by equipment type in the next graph. You can also choose the time interval you wish to investigate.Few readers

• Energy emissions

  Overview The energy dashboard visualizes the emissions from electricity usage, fuel and gas consumption or district heating, for example. The emissions are calculated in carbon dioxide equivalent tons. You can choose which years you want to examine by clicking the respective year below the graph. The division between different emission sources is shown on the upper corner.Few readers

• Land traffic emissions

  Overview Land traffic in a port usually consist of cargo traffic and is mainly trucks. Also light commercial vehicles can be used, and specially in passenger traffic terminals also passenger cars. The needed information for calculations include either data from gate systems on the number of different vehicle types, or estimations. Also, estimations on the distances driven need to be included. You can see the visualisation of trends in the current and previous years in the first graph, and cFew readers

• Vessel emissions

  Overview Vessel traffic is often the most important source of emissions in a port. The data for vessel emission calculation include port call information (from PMIS or AIS data, for example) and background information on various technical aspects of vessels and the port in question. You can see the visualisation of trends in the current and previous years in the first graph, and compare the emissions by different variables (terminal, vessel type, activity) in the next graphs.
