🌐 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀? Digital twin platforms could transform port operations. By providing real-time visibility, predictive insights and other features, they could improve decision-making, efficiency and sustainability. However, challenges such as infrastructure readiness, costs and technology integration remain barriers to widespread adoption. So, is it realistic to expect all ports to adopt this technology within the next decade? 👉 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲!

🌍 Last week, Stefanie Van Damme and Laura Mata García from ALICE contributed to the General Assembly of the CLEVER 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 (Creating Legitimate Emission Factors for Verified Emission Reduction). This project aims to develop 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 for the transport sector. The two-day event brought together project partners in Heidelberg, Germany, to review progress and agree on the next steps.    During the event, the project partners ✔️ Finalised plans to complete the 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 on emission factors by February 2024. ✔️ Agreed on 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 to ensure harmonisation of GHG emission factor calculations. ✔️ Discussed the scope of the project, including the fuels to be considered, system boundaries and the need for a global and multimodal perspective. A global approach is essential to reflect the realities of global supply chains and energy markets.  ✔️ Set the stage for next steps in capacity building and stakeholder engagement to advance our collective goals.    💡 Discussions were productive and collaborative, bringing us closer to harmonising methodologies that will support credible and actionable GHG reductions across all transport modes.    🔗 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: https://lnkd.in/drJ9r--D  🔗 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: https://lnkd.in/dvWauVRb    #LogisticsInnovation #NetZeroLogistics #TransportDecarbonisation #GHGEmissionFactors

📣 MODI presented its innovative solutions in 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 at mFUND workshop On 20 November 2024, the MODI Project, represented by Angjelo Andoni, Project Manager at ALICE, took part in the #mFUND workshop series organised by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). This edition “𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆” focused on the transformative potential of automation in the mobility and logistics sector.   Angjelo presented MODI’s work in automated freight transport, particularly along the Rotterdam-Oslo logistics corridor. His presentation focused on overcoming critical barriers such as cross-border regulatory harmonisation, system interoperability, and infrastructure readiness. These innovations directly address labour shortages while improving operational efficiency and sustainability.   Key insights from the workshop included: 💡 The need for a 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 that integrates governance, workforce training, and education. 💡 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 and ensure harmonisation to maximise the benefits of automation. 💡 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 remains essential.   MODI also used the event to invite stakeholders to join its 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲, fostering collaboration on sustainable business models and innovative solutions. If you are interested in joining the Task Force, please contact Stefanie Van Damme or Angjelo Andoni   Participation in events like these highlights MODI and ALICE’s commitment to driving forward zero-emission, efficient, and automated logistics.   👉 Find out more about the MODI project:  https://lnkd.in/e_hkzqes   #LogisticsInnovation #Sustainability #LabourShortages #ZeroEmissions #Automation
