Ports as powerhouses: navigating the energy transition in maritime hubs

The conference on energy transition in ports at the key energy expo in Rimini wish to be a landmark event, exploring the role ports play in the global shift towards sustainable energy. Attendees can expect a rich tapestry of discussions covering various aspects of this crucial transformation. 
The conference will delve into how ports are evolving from traditional maritime gateways to become powerhouses of the energy transition. By 2050, the total electricity generating capacity for industrial ports could increase more than tenfold, with renewable energy potentially accounting for at least 70% of the total electricity generation, compared to just 5% today. This dramatic shift positions ports as critical nodes in the future energy landscape. The conference will present their decarbonization strategies (electrification of port activities, alternative fuels, infrastructure and Investment, energy system integration and collaboration and innovation) showcasing innovative projects and partnerships that are driving the energy transition in ports worldwide.
