COSCO SHIPPING Tianjin, Hainan Harbor & Shipping and Yangpu International Container Terminal are expected to jointly build a green low-carbon smart terminal, with the photovoltaic power plant project as a starting point.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, during his visit to Yangpu International Container Terminal, in April 2022, noted that in order to revitalise port operations and develop the transport sector, the location of terminals must be determined, while respecting green development with priority given to ecological conservation.
Τhe 2.35MW distributed photovoltaic project built for Yangpu International Container Terminal by COSCO SHIPPING Tianjin officially connected to the grid at full capacity, οn 1 January 2023.
Specifically, the project utilises the roof of buildings in the port area to build distributed photovoltaic power stations, with an average annual designed generating capacity of 2.76 million KWH and an average annual carbon reduction volume of 1,454 tons.
The project predicts that more than 80% of the green power generated by the PV power stations is consumed locally, effectively boosting the green low-carbon intelligent development of the terminal.
