Fighting climate change
Carbon footprint in ports

Energy efficiency
The goal is for the port authority to achieve a 30% reduction in consumption by 2030 compared to 2019. To achieve this, outdoor lighting will be replaced with regulated LED equipment. Efficiency in buildings will be optimized through improvements in lighting, climate control and building envelope.

Self-consumption
The goal is for the port authority to consume 50% of its energy through self-consumption by 2030. To achieve this, photovoltaic panels will be installed on rooftops and available surfaces of the Port Authorities, along with batteries.

Port construction
The port authorities aim to achieve a 70% reduction in the carbon footprint of their construction projects by 2030. This requirement must be included in the conditions for contracting projects and works to ensure the use of low-carbon cement and steel.

Sequestering CO2
New port infrastructure will be made into CO2 sinks by promoting the development of ecosystems that sequester calcium carbonate.

Operator footprint
A 50% reduction in the carbon footprint of ports will be achieved by 2030 compared to 2019. To reach this goal, conditions regarding energy efficiency and self-consumption will be included in the occupancy permits and service provision licenses.
Carbon footprint in transportation

Encouraging short-sea ro-ro cargo transport
We will help reduce emissions generated by heavy traffic congestion by promoting the use of ro-ro transport services.

Promoting rail transport to and from ports
We aim to reduce atmospheric emissions associated with land transport by enabling and encouraging the use of rail as an alternative to road transport, bringing it closer to the European average.

Supply of alternative fuels
Adapt port electrical infrastructure and develop the regulatory instruments for port services needed to supply carbon-neutral electrical energy to ships.
Supporting the decarbonization of the energy sector

Production of carbon-neutral fuels
Public domain regulatory instruments will be used to encourage private investment in the production and logistics of carbon-neutral fuels.

Marine renewable energy
The development of the marine renewable energy industry will be promoted, supporting the experimentation, manufacturing, assembly, installation, maintenance and operation of marine renewable energy generation equipment.
