Abstract

Ports will play an important role in the decarbonisation of maritime transport towards 2050, and for the energy transition in a larger perspective. In this context, options for integrating multiple energy carriers and end-user sectors are seldom addressed. This study aims at qualitatively assessing the energy transition in Norwegian ports, centred around energy supply to the maritime sector, but with a particular focus on sector coupling and energy system integration. To elaborate on plausible energy systems in ports towards 2050, four exploratory scenarios were designed, driven by a low or high techno-economic and socio-technical development. Four case ports were selected for the scenario assessment, differing in ship traffic, ownership, location, port activities, nearby industries, current energy carriers, and ambition level for energy transition.
