Partnership for a carbon-neutral port

BREMERHAVEN. In 2023, bremenports launched the “carbon-neutral international port” project along with local members of the port community. The intention is to develop a joint decarbonisation strategy for Bremerhaven. It was clear that there is need for a significant change in the port’s supply, which fossil fuels still predominate. At the same time, it is also clear that the current legal framework is economically advantageous to the individual but not for the collective, self-sufficiency of the port neighbours with renewable energy. To achieve synergies across the board, the project participants drew up a joint statement in September. It included the following: “We intend to identify common goals within the context of decarbonisation of the port and are aiming to – wherever possible – harmonise the interests of the port neighbours and users. The goal is to speak with one voice. We deem this to be imperative, not only for decarbonisation but also to guarantee the competitiveness of the port as well as the individual companies involved.”
