QIC Innovation Podcast with Port of Brisbane

In our fifth episode of our Innovation in Infrastructure podcast series, QIC’s Matt David chats with the Port of Brisbane’s Head of Sustainability, Craig Wilson, and Manager Port Operations, Damien Garske about a pioneering vessel management system to reduce the port’s emissions – aptly named ‘Project Green Button’. This innovative trial technology has been developed by Port of Brisbane in collaboration with Seaport OPX to reduce scope 3 carbon emissions through efficient vessel operation. Like many ports, at the Port of Brisbane more than 50 per cent of its scope 3 emissions are comprised of shipping emissions from the movement of over 2,800 commercial vessels annually through its nearly 90km shipping channel. The Port of Brisbane and DHI Seaport (Seaport OPX) recently won the Environmental Award at the Daily Cargo News 2024 Australia Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards for this innovation. Listen to the podcast to find out the remarkable results during the trial phase and the strong support it’s receiving.
