SEANERGY project, which aims at supporting the creation of the best possible setting and conditions for the EU energy transition, through the development and implementation of sustainability and an educational path centered on the port ecosystem. The SEANERGY Project aims to provide a solution to this challenge through the creation of the SEANERGY Master Plan (MP), which is meant to be an aggregator of information and guidelines that will allow all the port industry’s stakeholders, regardless of their geographical context, to assess, plan and execute the necessary activities towards transforming ports into clean energy hubs. 

The MP will be therefore the main reference for all port institutions approaching the preparation of environmental and energy planning documents. 

Activities such as training, reskilling, awareness spreading and communication channels creation, will set the basis of the green port transitioning, creating spaces of dialogue and teaching among all agents of the industry (academia, private and public), which will boost the development and integration of these technologies, along with prepared professionals that will be able to manage and implement them promptly, securely, and efficiently. 

Parallelly, the Master Plan will consider as many variables as possible, such as the resources to be shared in the port region, for example hydrogen, waste, water, electricity, carbon dioxide and steam. Therefore, the Master Plan will identify them, selecting the most promising synergy scenarios between environment, cooperation, and business viability.  

Complementarily, the project will develop a SEANERGY Handbook (HB) which will serve as a tool for Master Plan users to help them navigate through the information through video modules, explaining the key relevant aspects of each section, as well as supporting the information’s adaptation to the regional context. 

Thanks to these tools, the SEANERGY project will guide all EU ports toward a zero-emission transition. 

• The Ports Energy Upgrade Plans that will be developed can be used in the future for the planning and implementation of projects and actions by the competent bodies of the ports.
• A handbook will be created which will act as a guiding and explanatory aid of the information and content of the Master Plan.
• In the long term with the implementation of the Port Energy Upgrade Plan, European ports will reduce their carbon emissions and energy costs as a result of the transition to renewable energy sources.
