PIONEERS brings together four ports with different characteristics, but shared commitments towards Green Deal goals and Blue Growth socio-economic aims. Developed to address the challenge for European ports to reduce GHG emissions while remaining competitive, Ports of Antwerp, Barcelona, Venlo and Constanta will implement green port innovation demonstations across four main pillars: clean energy production and supply; sustainable port design; modal shift and flows optimization, and digital transformation.
PIONEERS is coordinated by Port of Antwerp-Bruges and a consortium of 45 partners.
