What are required for ports to offer hydrogen-based fuels and electrical solutions to ships? What actors are involved that play a crucial role in the realization? Not all ports can be energy hubs, but ports that offer alternative fuels, onshore power supply and charging of batteries can have a strategic advantage in the future. This report includes the development of emission-free inland waterways and a green bunkering and charging strategy for ports. The focus is on the role of port authorities, but also other perspectives are important, as a shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon fuels requires collaboration among many actors. Therefore, the scope also involves the perspectives of shipping companies, port authorities, terminal operators, energy companies/producers, technology providers and authorities. This report provides a comprehensive overview of alternative fuels and charging facilities for low-carbon shipping, and explores the development over time, including various aspects such as technical description and maturity level, national production capacity, infrastructure and storage needs, and environmental, economic and safety aspects. The report covers techno-economic assessment of renewable fuels such as methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia, including capital and operational costs, cost/benefit analysis, and sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, the report contains discussions about the national, EU, and IMO policies and funding programs related to sustainable shipping.
