Identifying and ranking environmental aspects of a dry port in Foz do Iguaçu city, Paraná‐Brazil

Abstract

This work aims to present and describe the process of identifying and ranking environmental aspects of a dry port in Brazil. The general approach includes a literature review on the importance of managing the environmental aspects and impacts in dry ports, followed by a description of the holistic procedures entailed in inventorying the port's activities linked to environmental aspects, the Leopold matrix, and the expert knowledge regarding the local context (e.g., compliance with the law, regional adaptation to climate change strategy, and stakeholder concerns) necessary to perform the ranking. The results showed that emissions to the air, noise, and resource consumption are among the most significant environmental aspects of the dry port.

Reduction of CO 2 emissions by recycling low-potential heat from the Benfield CO 2 removal process at a natural gas hydrogen production plant

“…Furthermore, in environmental management systems, the identi cation of environmental aspects is strongly linked to process analysis. It is necessary to determine to what extent an activity causes emissions to the atmosphere, discharges to water bodies or soil, waste generation, noise generation and/or resource consumption (Mata et al, 2019). Process analysis into individual stages and operations is used both in energy, quality and environmental management systems, as well as during the implementation of the lean concept, in order to reduce risk (Aqlan and Ali, 2014), but also contributes to reducing waste -and this goal is particularly important to us.…”

“…They underlined the importance of elaborating this set of indicators in collaboration with stakeholders. Mata-Lima et al [73] evaluated the process for identifying and ranking these environmental aspects, adopting a mixed-methodology approach. They found that the three most significant aspects are emissions into the air, resource consumption, and noise.…”
