Addressing green port infrastructure needs

Recent top level discussions involved representatives from the County Administrative Board of Stockholm, Ports of Stockholm, the Municipality of Nynäshamn, Region Stockholm and trade and industry.

“In collaboration with the County Administrative Board of Stockholm, we are initiating a collective effort to develop the infrastructure around the port for electrification, the fuels of the future and more sustainable transport of goods overland and by sea in the Stockholm and Greater Stockholm Region,” said Jens Holm, chair of the board of Ports of Stockholm.

”We know that the invited stakeholders hold many of the keys to being able to increase the pace of efforts and that Stockholm Norvik Port can be a hub in this context.”

Continuing collaboration

The discussions focussed on fossil fuel-free transport and the needs of shipping for infrastructure and fuels.

The aim is to define a clear roadmap that steers Stockholm Norvik Port to become a sustainable hub and powerbank for transport, energy transition and an increased shift of goods from land to sea and railway transport.

Last month, Ports of Stockholm said it will be beginning a Feasibility Study to establish a node for captured carbon dioxide at Stockholm Norvik Port, together with leading CCS emitters and actors.

The goal is to increase the possibilities for emission reduction and negative emissions by establishing a regional, sustainable and cost-efficient carbon dioxide infrastructure in eastern Sweden.
