Busan Port Authority, the governing body of the South Korean Port of Busan, stated that it would establish the 2050 Comprehensive Plan for Carbon Neutrality of Busan Port.
As informed, the plan will consist of detailed tasks to achieve zero carbon emission in Busan Port by 2050 and a mid-to-long-term carbon neutrality roadmap. The completion of the “2050 Comprehensive Plan for Carbon Neutrality of Busan Port” will create a green Busan Port.
The plan’s service outsourcing will include researching the current status and analyzing trends of carbon neutrality and climate change adaptation in and outside Korea and Busan Port’s greenhouse gas emission status and prospects. It will also consist of detailed implementation tasks and a mid-to-long-term roadmap to reduce greenhouse gasses to achieve carbon neutrality in Busan Port by 2050.
The comprehensive plan will reflect the 2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap in the Maritime and Fisheries Sector announced by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. It will also establish effective implementation strategies for carbon neutrality by 2050 by setting GHG reduction goals and identifying detailed tasks. Moreover, the plan will also find new renewable energies that can be adopted and establish Busan Port’s energy independence plan accordingly.
To create a low carbon port, BPA has been working on achieving the goal of reducing 50% of GHG in the public sector by 2030, establishing solar power generation facilities in Woongdong Distripark, installing HVAC systems using seawater, and setting up a resource circulation network. Moreover, it will continue to implement and expand detailed tasks based on the 2050 Comprehensive Plan for Carbon Neutrality of Busan Port.
BPA plans to work continuously to go beyond the low carbon goal and achieve carbon neutrality for Busan Port in response to the climate change crisis that has emerged as an environmental, social, and ethical issue of the world
