Abstract
Ports have an important part to play in the decarbonization of the different transportation modes that interact with a port by developing suitable infrastructure that both relies on and supplies carbon-free energy. However, this infrastructure will be expensive and not without risk. Before such a transition can take place, ports must consider several aspects—and in particular, what will be the demand for alternative green fuels, and what fuels should or can a port provide. The authors of this chapter explore this by presenting a case study for the Port of Plymouth and its conclusions.
