One of the most important consequences caused by the constant development of human activity is the uncontrolled generation of greenhouse gases (GHG). The main gases (CO, CH, and NO) are illustrated by the carbon footprint. To determine the impact of port infrastructures, a Life Cycle Assessment approach is applied that considers construction and maintenance. A case study of a port infrastructure in Spain is analyzed. Main results reflect the continuous emission of GHG throughout the useful life of the infrastructure (25 years). Both machinery (85%) and materials (15%) are key elements influencing the obtained results (117,000 Tm CO2e).
人类活动的不断发展带来的最重要的后果之一是温室气体(GHG)的无控制排放。主要气体(CO、CH 和 NO)由碳足迹来表示。为了确定港口基础设施的影响,应用了生命周期评估方法,其中考虑了建设和维护。对西班牙的一个港口基础设施案例进行了分析。主要结果反映了基础设施整个使用寿命内(25 年)温室气体的持续排放。机械(85%)和材料(15%)是影响所获得结果的关键因素(117,000 公吨 CO2e)。
