Energy transition<br />
The energy transition is a question of new technologies<br />
and economies, but is also a spatial assignment.<br />
Fossile fuels are obtained far away or in remoted<br />
places. Renewable energy has a direct impact on<br />
our space. Windparks on the North Sea, biomass,<br />
urban waste streams... The current infrastructure<br />
will have to be rethought, since new resources (hydrogen,<br />
CO2, sludge...) will be used, which demand<br />
different modes of transport or space. The port is a<br />
place where this transition plays an important role:<br />
sustainable growth is a task of many big companies.<br />
Smart logistics<br />
Logistics becomes smart. This doesn’t only mean<br />
to implementation of new technologies and infrastructures<br />
to aid logistics. The inland shipping and<br />
the minimazation of the amount of shipped goods<br />
changes the way logistics are organized. Smart<br />
logistics also asks for a dynamic traffic management:<br />
connection between different modi, where<br />
are there places for transshipment, on which scale<br />
does these serve the city, port or hinterland? The<br />
connection with the changing attitude of the port<br />
from typical landlord to an active facilitator in important<br />
for these kinds of logistics and infrastructure.<br />
Environmental regeneration<br />
<strong>Circular</strong>ity effects also the environment in a good<br />
way. The connection between the circularity and<br />
the climate change is evident. Different circular activities<br />
have the specific aim to reduce their external<br />
negativities as CO2, waste water... Some circular<br />
acitvities use these negativities as a resource.<br />
Specificities for ports, such as dredging, can also<br />
happen in an alternative, more natural way.<br />
<strong>Circular</strong> area development<br />
<strong>Circular</strong>ity is here connected to the development of<br />
a specific area. Different circular activities are present<br />
or will be implemented here, to close chains, to<br />
facilitate smart logistics...
