Ports are the heart of our global trade, connecting the world and fuelling economic growth. But with this power comes a problem – a massive carbon footprint. As Europe sets sail to becoming climate-neutral by 2050, how can our ports, the gatekeepers of commerce, join this green transition and help build a more sustainable future? In this episode, we visit one of Europe's largest ports — the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium, coordinating the EU project PIONEERS demonstrating a range of sustainable solutions — from renewable power generation and cleaner vessel propulsion to digitalisation and smart technologies, improving port efficiency with sensors and AI-based solutions.
