Time flies, they say, and the goal of a 90% reduction in transport emissions by 2050 seems hard to meet at this point. Hydrogen and ammonia are the most discussed “new” fuels for ships when the discussion comes to shipping decarbonization, but they’re not the only free-emissions possible propulsions: within the session, we will also discuss opportunities and challenges - tech and business-wise - of wind propulsion.

Renewable energy will play a fundamental role in reaching the European goal of being climate-neutral by 2050 – including the generation of more energy at sea and from the sea. Although the deployment of offshore technologies for electricity generation in the Mediterranean Sea has been relatively slow so far, thanks to technological innovation, there is now a big potential for further development in a cost-effective way, both for wind and wave energy power.

CLOSING REMARKS
Hon. Edoardo Rixi, Deputy Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
The possibility of being defined as “energy communities” has finally been recognized to ports, as a support for their transition to the use of renewable energies to satisfy the typical energy-intensive needs of port areas. Ports, therefore, assume an increasingly central role in the current energy transition process, becoming energy hubs - energy storage and distribution points - and encouraging the consumption of green energy by the entire maritime cluster and inland supply chain. Which will be the next steps of this new path for ports?

The “blue economy” is a huge segment of the global economy and we are fully aware of the impact of its activities on both the oceans and the land and, therefore, the importance of making it as sustainable as possible to support the European green transition. In this context, limiting environmental damages is not enough: alongside the effort to reduce emissions, it is necessary to develop circular and regenerative models that enable nature-based solutions with vitality and health for economic systems, generating new business opportunities for all the blue economy players and significantly benefiting marine ecosystems. The session will also focus on the crucial role of ports in reducing marine litter through effective waste management.

Every year, hundreds of millions of travelers transit through European ports. Sometimes, friction with the city where ports are located might arise because of the management of a large number of tourists, transportation congestion, and high polluting emissions. Today, thanks to the cooperation between ports, local administrators, and other public-private players such as cruise companies, it is possible to foster a better city-port relationship with projects and initiatives that support an integrated and more sustainable development of the city-port areas in terms of economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects

Shipyards can play an important role in the ecological transition of the sector. It is not only about building ships that can use new fuels or green coatings, but also about the sustainable management of the shipyard’s operations, therefore the use of renewable energy and, for example, the attention to the whole waste management cycle.
