IAPH launches Global Ports Hydrogen Coalition portal on its WPSP website
First hydrogen-related port projects have their own portal on sustainableworldports.org
IAPH has upgraded its World Ports Sustainability Program website by adding a portal dedicated to the Global Ports Hydrogen Coalition.
IAPH’s Technical Director Antonis Michail commented : “As part of IAPH’s contribution to the CEM Global Ports Hydrogen Coalition, we have created a special platform for hydrogen projects at ports. The scope of projects will cover current and planned port implementations related to ammonia, methanol and hydrogen not just as marine fuels, but also looking to the contribution of ports as energy hubs”
About IAPH
Founded in 1955, the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) has developed into a global alliance of 156 port authorities, including many of the world’s largest port operators as well as 120 port-related businesses. Comprised of 87 different nationalities across the world’s continents, member ports handle approximately one third of the world’s sea-borne trade and well over 60% of the world container traffic. With its NGO consultative status recognized by the IMO, ECOSOC, ILO, UNCTAD, UNEP, and WCO, IAPH leads global port industry initiatives on decarbonization and energy transition, risk and resilience management, and accelerating digitalization in the maritime transport chain. Its World Ports Sustainability Program has grown into the reference database of best practices of ports applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals and integrating them into their businesses.
