Green Ports
Greening transport is a key objective of the European Green Deal. Transport accounts for 25% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. Green transport developments focus on the supply chain and use of green energy carriers. MAGPIE project task 3.1 has been set out to map the current (supplied by fossil fuels) and the future energy demand (supplied by green energy carriers) associated with the different transport modalities that co-exist in a port ecosystem (using the port of Rotterdam as use-case). The main goal is to provide a first indication of the order-magnitude of the demand (present and future) for the transport sector
MAGPIE partners will develop a Masterplan for European Green Ports; a roadmap thereto and a handbook to accelerate the development of sustainable maritime and inland European ports. The handbook will be based on the demonstrations within the MAGPIE project and will contain insights through research and other case studies. The handbook will also give guidance on how to move from planning to implementation, replication and scaling of the demonstrated solutions and results. This will apply to the different types, sizes, and geographical location of ports across Europe.
