Summary/Abstract: The 2050 European Union's goal of carbon neutrality involves intervening to decarbonise various key sectors in the member states, such as maritime ports. In order to decarbonise efficiently, it is necessary to thoroughly study the different emitting agents within each activity. Understanding the origins of emissions and the greenhouse gas (GHG) profile associated with activities is a fundamental step in planning the measures that organisations must take to make the energy transition a success. Within the European decarbonisation target, an important sector to consider is ports. This research explores the steps, strategies, and technologies that are shaping the future of “green” ports and the transformative potential they hold for the maritime industry
