Ports are urgently seeking solutions to become CO2-neutral. Given that ports involve heavy masses and high frequencies in areas where significant energy is lost—such as during braking at intersections, entering terminals, before traffic lights, curves, and more—the potential for energy harvesting is immense.
By deploying around 300 REPS systems at strategic locations within a port, REPS can cover approximately 5-10% of the port's total energy demand, while reducing 5-12% of the CO2 emissions caused by port traffic. It's fascinating to see how much energy is lost in these processes, and the potential that REPS can harness to recover and redirect this energy back into the system.
At present, the demand for electricity is growing faster than the implementation of green power converters, necessitating a reliance on fossil fuels. Traditional energy converters face challenges in implementation, permitting, and resource procurement. It is crucial to prioritize innovative solutions, like REPS, to join forces in the battle against fossil fuels with other stakeholders.
REPS can play a crucial role in this process by utilizing existing public areas frequented by a large number of vehicles as power plants, generating carbon-neutral electricity and thus making a substantial impact.
By revolutionizing “energy harvesting”, REPS will change the way we look at our current energy recovery/production and make an important contribution to mitigating our climate crisis.
