Shore Side Electricity Potential for

Europe

• Main objectives of the project for DG Clima/DG

Move:

• Estimation of CO2 emission reductions in this part of

the transport sector on Port level.

• Estimation of SSE potential for reduction of harmful

emissions in dense cities.

• Present possible measures to promote shore side

electricity in the EU.

Background info: CO2 emissions

• In 2010, shipping accounted for 15.3% of the

EU's transport emissions, which was more than

airline emissions (12.4%).

• The Ricardo-AEA report (Ricardo-AEA, 2013)

showed that ships arriving at or departing from

EU ports emitted 180 million tonnes of CO2 in

2010, which was 4% of the EU's total

emissions.

SSE potential


Ship typeAnnual electricity

consumption (GWh)

Sea - Cruise ships 1334

Sea - Oil tankers 760

Sea - Containers, including reefers 579

Sea- Bulk 448

Sea- RoRo 116

Sea - General cargo 105

Inland - Cargo 127

Inland - Passenger 74

TOTAL 3543

• If all seagoing and inland ships in European harbours would use SSE by 2020 for covering their energy demand at berth, they would consume 3,543 GWh annually

• Electricity from SSE would then be 0.1% of the electricity consumption in Europe as a whole in 2012.

• Furthermore, SSE offers the potential to mitigate 800,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

Summary

• Shore Side Electricity (SSE) is an option for

reducing the unwanted environmental impact of

ships at berths, i.e. greenhouse gas emissions,

air quality emissions and noise pollution of

ships using their auxiliary engines.

• In general, the demand increase is not seen as

problematic for the electricity grid, especially if

we take into account that the SSE

implementation is a medium- to long-term

process which is aligned with the grid extension

planning in the EU.

Summary

• For most EU member states SSE

implementation would contribute to decreasing

CO2 emissions. In countries with high carbon

content in their electricity supply, SSE leads to

an increase of CO2 emissions.

• Furthermore the report provides insight into the

barriers for implementation and formulates

recommendations on policy action that the

Commission could take to accelerate the

implementation of SSE in European harbours.
