PortXchange EmissionInsider has won the NAMEPA Award for Environmental Innovation for its EmissionInsider product as Port Houston signs up as an early adopter of the solution.
EmissionInsider, a flexible and adaptable solution from PortXchange, streamlines the collection of emission data, ensuring compliance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methodologies.
It reportedly empowers Port Houston to access real-time insights into emissions from vessels, enabling them to monitor, adapt, and potentially implement corrective actions on their path to decarbonisation.
Carleen Lyden Walker, CEO and Co-Founder of NAMEPA, highlighted: “NAMEPA’s judges chose PortXchange as the winner of the Marine Environment Protection Award in Environmental Innovation because of the technological and environmental benefits it offers to help ports maintain their active role while promoting healthier and cleaner environments through reducing their carbon footprints.”
“The partnership with Port Houston marks a significant milestone for PortXchange,” said Sjoerd de Jager, CEO at PortXchange.
“With the implementation of PortXchange EmissionInsider, we are delighted to support Port Houston in its goal to make the transition to a net-zero port.
