Driving Sustainable Energy Transformation: H2-Derivatives@BalticSeaPorts Initiative
Key Ideas
  • HPC Hamburg Port Consulting awarded contract to manage the ambitious 'H2-Derivatives@BalticSeaPorts' initiative focusing on hydrogen-based derivatives adoption in Baltic Sea ports.
  • Project aims to address knowledge gaps and develop market forecasts, investment models, bunkering technologies, and safety regulations for hydrogen derivatives usage.
  • HPC's role involves project coordination, financial management, and leveraging expertise in sustainability challenges within the maritime industry.
  • Collaborative effort includes 15 project partners from seven Baltic Sea Region countries, supported by 23 associated organizations, to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen derivatives.
HPC Hamburg Port Consulting has been appointed to oversee the management and financial aspects of the 'H2-Derivatives@BalticSeaPorts' initiative led by the Port of Hamburg Marketing. The project, spanning from March 2025 to February 2028, aims to promote the use of hydrogen-based derivatives as cargo and maritime fuels across Baltic Sea ports to achieve sustainable shipping and energy supply within the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). The initiative targets the development of market forecasts, investment models, bunkering technologies, berth mapping, and safety regulations to facilitate the handling of hydrogen derivatives. HPC's involvement in project coordination and financial management signifies its expertise in coordinating Interreg projects and understanding sustainability challenges in the maritime industry. The ambitious project involves 15 partners from seven Baltic Sea countries and 23 associated organizations, collaborating to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen derivatives. Through this partnership, solutions will be developed to showcase proofs of concept and create a scalable roadmap for green energy transformation in ports. H2Deri@BSP aims to disseminate its outcomes widely to aid in the transition to sustainable energy systems across EU regions. HPC's role in developing the project proposal, securing EU funding, and winning the project management tender highlights its commitment to advancing alternatives to fossil fuels and supporting the move towards sustainable energy use in the Baltic Sea Region. The project's results are expected to benefit EU regions, contributing to the faster adoption of green technologies and substantial CO2 reductions, paving the way for a zero-emission future in maritime transport.
