Energy security and decarbonisation goals could support the large-scale import of hydrogen and hydrogen carriers through our ports. The outlook for sustainable fuel demand is also becoming increasingly clear, strengthened by recent policy initiatives such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandates and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Net-Zero Framework. Meanwhile, advancement of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects, establishment of carbon markets, and growing need for sustainable fuel feedstocks highlight the potential substantial demand for transport of captured carbon and biomass.

Ports will play a critical role in the production and handling of these products and development of major new infrastructure is required to support the transport and distribution to end-users. However, many projects still encounter difficulties in securing the necessary investment and navigating planning processes.

Join Arup for an interactive event examining the roles of all stakeholders, the significance of a robust business case, and the current challenges and enablers for the UK port sector to realise the opportunities presented by these emerging value chains.
