- This was part of EU project SUSPORTS, which was funded by Climate KIC involving academic and industrial partners from the UK (U. of Reading, CRESS), Spain (Port of Valencia) and the Netherlands (RHDHV). Experiments were carried out at the Port of Felixstowe and the resulting RTG crane data was analysed in this work, which estimated that about half of the energy consumed is potentially recoverable using storage, and that this recovery could lead to savings 8,100 tonnes of CO2 at the port. Staff at the Port of Felixstowe were made aware of the results reported here (Contact: Wayne Travis TravisW@fdrc.co.uk).
