“…Hydrogen, termed 'Green Hydrogen' when produced by renewable energies, is a versatile, potentially zero-emission fuel that can be used to power ships, as well as a range of port equipment and vehicles [3][4][5]. However, most hydrogen is currently produced from non-renewable energies using the steam reforming of natural gas, as this is the cheapest production approach.…”

The utilisation of hydrogen is being explored as a viable solution for reducing carbon emissions in port operations, with potential applications in cargo handling, transportation, and shipping vessel operations. To comprehensively list the decarbonisation options in ports, this study conducted a Systematic Literature Review to identify and then survey twelve highly cited review papers. Initially, a typology approach was used to categorise the decarbonisation options by activities and technologies. Subsequently, the study introduced a novel Port Energy Map to reveal the energy system pathways and their interconnections. Each pathway was then converted into a simpler linear sequence of activities, shown as a Port Energy System Taxonomy, which outlines the energy supply and energy-using activities. By utilising this taxonomy and map, the study identified opportunities and research gaps for integrating hydrogen technologies into port energy systems, which serves as a valuable tool for assessing port decarbonisation options.

“…Chen et al [88] addressed the problem more from the port infrastructure point of view rather than hydrogen production and storage capability, stressing the fundamental role of port infrastructure and regulations for the good functioning of the hydrogen system supply chain. Although the study found that ports are not yet ready for hydrogen adoption and further efforts will be necessary such as implementing infrastructure and risk management measures and regulations, results showed that liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and LOHCs are suitable for international trade; moreover, they identified twenty ports as potential pioneers (i.e., twelve exporting ports and eight importing ports) for starting the decarbonization of ports through the adoption of hydrogen.…”

Italy has been defined as the “logistics platform” of the Mediterranean Sea. The Italian port system, with 11.6 million TEUs handled and 61.4 million passengers in 2022 (Assoporti data January–December 2022), is the key to fulfilling this title through adequate levels of reliability, safety, and sustainability. This contribution addresses port logistics and shipping, focusing on primary issues related to the energy sector with a specific focus on what can be observed in the Italian context. Specifically, the decarbonization of the maritime sector and related infrastructural problems (e.g., cold ironing or alternative fuels, where the uncertainty about resource availability and related costs do not allow for easy strategic planning by both the ship owner and the port authority), as well as policies such as the Emission Trading System (ETS), will be analyzed. All these issues, hereafter addressed with a systematic critical review of the existing literature and other relevant sources, could represent the driving force of the growth of the national port sector toward its competitiveness at a global scale. The review was performed through a wide search and analysis of studies published in well-known online research databases (Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect), sector studies, or specialized technical magazines. The review focuses on the results of each analyzed contribution rather than on the analysis method adopted with the final aim to identify useful hints and innovative ideas for further studies on the topic.

“…Ports have well established infrastructure to handle fossil fuel exports, including natural gas and LNG. The easiest ways of export green hydrogen are in the form of ammonia, methanol, or liquid organic hydrogen carriers (Chen, Fan, Enshaei, Zhang, Shi, Abdussamie, Miwa, Qu, & Yang, 2023;National Secretariat of Ports and Waterway Transportation, 2023).…”

The global Green Hydrogen economy offers the opportunity to unleash a new global energy paradigm, and a new virtuous cycle of global sustainable economic growth and development. The Green Hydrogen economy addresses the urgent need for global decarbonization, addressing a number of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established in the 2030 agenda. This paper addresses the promises and challenges permeating the establishment of a global Green Hydrogen economy. This paper introduces two new approaches and concepts, Green Powershoring and Green Watershoring, to assess and analyze how the global Green Hydrogen will evolve, and which countries will take the leadership in the global Green Hydrogen economy. Given the renewable energy-intensive and fresh water-intensive nature of green hydrogen production, countries which are more endowed with these natural resources will develop a clear lead and a competitive advantage over countries that do not possess these natural resource endowments. Thus, the creation of a global Green Hydrogen Divide is inevitable, leading to a number of global geoeconomics and geopolitical consequences.
