The future of fuel isn’t a choice—it’s a challenge. And ports are at the centre of it.
With FuelEU regulations ramping up and the energy transition accelerating, it’s no surprise that last week’s event drew a full house keen to tackle one of the industry’s biggest questions:
How do we future-proof ports for green fuels?
A panel of maritime experts – Göran Eriksson, CEO, Port of Gothenburg (PoG); Therese Jällbrink, Head of Renewable Energy, Port of Gothenburg; Patrik Kinnerfors, CEO, Scandinavian Tank Storage; and Christoffer Lillhage, Director Business Development & Energy transition, Scandinavian Tank Storage – shed light on how multifuel infrastructure, onshore power supply (OPS), and storage solutions will shape the ports of tomorrow.
Key takeaways included:
⚡ The future is multifuel – biofuels, methanol, LNG, bio-LNG, and ongoing research into hydrogen and ammonia
🌍 FuelEU as a catalyst – how the new regulations will drive port transformation
🔋 The power challenge – electricity demand at ports is set to triple in the next two decades
🚢 A front-runner in OPS – PoG is leading the charge for container, passenger, and even tanker onshore power supply
🏭 Storage companies: the fixed giants – unlike ships, storage tanks can’t move, making timing the transition to new fuels a strategic challenge
⏳ Converting storage isn’t the hard part—getting the timing right is. The industry can adapt fuel tanks for biofuels and e-fuels, but the real challenge? Aligning the investment with market demand.
A huge thank you to the Port of Gothenburg and Scandinavian Tank Storage and our brilliant speakers for their proactive approach to the fuel transition.
