The carbon footprint for the Port of Melbourne was calculated
recently by Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC), covering the
estimated port-related landside and maritime carbon emissions
from July 2009 to June 2010. Measuring greenhouse gas emissions
and energy use is a key commitment within PoMC’s Climate Change
Policy, giving a means to adapt to a low carbon economy. The
data gathered will help identify opportunities for PoMC to work
with port tenants and users to manage the port’s activities more
effectively. This can be done through efficient planning,
development and operation of the port. View the fact sheet (PDF

Footprint Assessment project.
