Belfast Harbour is the lead partner for the CACHE Net-Zero demonstration project, a collaboration between Redshift Associates, Geospatial Insight, BABLE and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
The project utilises our ground level sensor data, in addition to space enabled technologies, to provide near real time air quality dispersion modelling, mapping concentrations for NO₂, NOx, PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ on an hourly timescale with 10m resolution over land and 100m resolution over water.
We are using the vital insights from this demonstration project to inform a new Port Air Quality Strategy (PAQS) in 2024, which will outline the steps required to support key tenants and stakeholders as we continue to improve air quality in and around the port and estate.
