Facilities for MCAST will also be provided for

Conference Centre may offer an interesting place for people to conjugate and share ideas

2. INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENTa. Pollution / Protection Reduction of CO2 emissions through the

use of more efficient and cleaner transport facilities

Cleaner industries – industry of the future Harbour regeneration could mean cleaner

inland waters Zero emission modes of transport such as

cycling and walking will be easier to achieve by more stable routes

b. Resourcesi. Energyii. Wateriii. Waste

Energy performance of the proposed interventions will be certified

Planning at a strategic level for orientation, insulation, etc.. to allow for more sustainable buildings

Waste streams will be minimised through the use of closed systems, which relate different types of industries together.

Recycling of heat through Heat Exchangers Waste transfer may also start to occur,

particularly by marine vessels
