In addition 2 non-med ports were analysed due to their relevant influence in the Mediterrean area: Sines (Portugal) and Tanger Med (Morocco).

In total 23 Criteria (and 68 KPIs) were defined for the assessment, 8 (16 KPIs) of them focussed on the energy performance of the selected ports:

1.Total consumption of energy

2.Energy consumption by containers

3.Energy consumption by internal fleets

4.Energy consumption by offices

5.Energy consumption by lighting

6.Energy consumption by terminals equipment for movement of containers

7.Use of renewables

8.Energy Management

Use of renewables KPIs

1. % heating fuels from renewable resources managed by the port authority

2.  % heating fuels from renewable resources managed by terminal operators

3.  % energy from renewable resources managed by port authority

4.  % energy from renewable resources managed by terminal operators.

But despite its potential this sector is facing several challenges which need to

be faced:

⇨Technology costs are high and access to finance is difficult;

⇨There are substantial infrastructure barriers, such as grid connection issues

or access to adequate port facilities and specialized vessels;

⇨There are administrative barriers such as complex licensing and consenting

procedures, which can delay projects and raise costs;

⇨There are environmental issues to be faced, including the need for more

research and better information on environmental impacts.

Political incentives towards the use of renewable

energies.

Developing clusters and poles to push forward innovation

and avoid fragmentation.

Improving access to risk capital or loans for startup SMEs;

and improving intellectual property management.

Increasing investments in demonstration projects

(commercial feasibility); and large public-private partnership

initiatives to gather the necessary critical mass.

Promoting large PPP initiatives to gather the necessary

critical mass

Addressing legal and administrative hurdles.

Promoting the coordination and communication among

the different actors and operators within the port area.

Better and improved access to consumption and energy

performance data and information (both, the Port and its

operators).

Definition of energy efficiency and performance indicators.

Incentives towards the adoption of energy management

standards (ISO 50000).

Embracing the smart grid concept (EFFICIENCY &

SUSTAINABILITY): promoting ports integration in the Smart

Grid (generation and consumption).

Encouraging ports as potential energy suppliers,

allowing them to sell its energy surplus in the grid (price

policy regulation required).

Promoting the use of green vehicles inside the port

area.

Development of R&D and technology projects (RIS3,

ESI, H2020…)

Promoting (and supporting) the upgrading of ports

facilities in order to facilitate the production,

manufacturing and distribution of technology components

and devices within the port area (thus encouraging the

development and establishment of these companies in

the port area).
