On November 10th, 2022, World Maritime University hosted our first SEANERGY Project workshop in collaboration with ENGIMMONIA Project on EU #ports and #alternativefuels.

In conclusion, many challenges lie ahead:

  • No clear single transitional and/or long-term standard yet (LNG, ammonia, methanol, hydrogen etc.)
  • Need for sufficient capacity of renewable energy for green fuel production
  • Massive long-term investment needs
  • Ensuring long-term physical port space, capacities and planning horizons for green fuels and fuel infrastructure
  • Grid capacity and competing prioritization for shore power and electrification
  • Regulations need to be technology-neutral and promote the desired outcome of emissions reduction rather than specific technologies.
  • All actors, shipping lines/ship owners, regulators, cities, ports etc., need to be on board…

Empowering Future Leaders in Port Energy Transition: SEANERGY’s Virtual Event with Spanish Universities

On November 4, 2024, ATPERSON, a dedicated partner of the SEANERGY project, hosted a virtual event aimed at engaging Spanish universities and raising awareness of the critical need for clean energy solutions in port environments. The event introduced the SEANERGY Academic Programme and the SEANERGY Challenge, both integral to inspiring and empowering a new generation of professionals who will lead the transition towards zero-emission ports by 2050.

Why are the port’s environmental impacts our priority? 

While efficient ports are vital to the economic development of their surrounding areas, the related ship traffic, the handling of the goods in the ports, and the hinterland distribution can cause a number of negative environmental impacts.
