Development of INTERREG Project Application "H2-Derivatives@Baltic Sea Ports

Challenge

The Baltic ports and maritime industry face the critical challenge of transitioning to new energy carriers like hydrogen derivatives while addressing concerns about quality, quantity, infrastructure requirements, policy frameworks, and effective communication with local communities. To tackle these challenges head-on, the project partnership has joined forces to develop strategies and tools that enable participating ports to become sustainable energy hubs, contributing to CO2 emission reductions in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). Transnational collaboration is essential to develop solutions for market, infrastructure, policy, and communication challenges, ensuring readiness for the future handling and bunkering of hydrogen derivatives. Recognizing the complexity and long-term nature of this transformation, the project partnership has entrusted HPC to drive the process by refining the project concept, assembling the partnership, creating a high-quality INTERREG project application, and ensuring its timely submission.
