Led by NICE in cooperation with the partners & their stakeholders.
- Capacity-building workshop: "The role of ports in improving the flows of excess resources (e.g. biomass) for Renewable Energy production/supply chain with rural communities" with conclusions paper on Spotlight Theme. / The debate will serve to identify how rural communities could benefit from a Circular Economy approach on renewable energy generation in port areas. The workshop's conclusions will feed into the Port Startegy in WP1.4
- AMMONIA/METHANOL PILOT: energy/fuel from renewables in the Ports managed by the Britanny Region / Economic/technological feasibility/pre-operational study for the local production, shore-side fuelling, storage and supply chain of H2 and ammonia from renewable sources (BREST H2UBS pilot of Brittany Region). Exchanges with VIVES's lab test (WP2.6).
- PORT MEDIUM-TO-LONG TERM STRATEGY for harbours as Renewable Energy Hubs aligning with REDII Directive & AFID Directive / Joint transnational strategy setting directions for ports on how to build on thei potential and capacity to gradually transition into RE & alternative fuel centres (incl. policy/port/technologies/market: recommendations)
- Communication, valorisation, legacy / Communication, marketing and capacity building material (at least 1 brochure, 1 poster, 2 pull up, 12 (internal/external) articles/PR, 3 newsletters, website) to valorise the projects products developed and help build a NSR port energy Community.
- Capacity-building workshop: "Renewable Energy: meeting the challenge of integrating renewables in the North Sea Basin through ports" with conclusions report on Spotlight Theme. / A customer engaging event with external trasnational experts (shipping lines/ports/environmentalists) will allow to involve new clients that proactively integrate RE solutions in the NS Basin's ports. The conclusions will feed into the Port Startegy.
- TIDE/SOLAR/WAVE/WIND PILOT. Renewable Energy for/in ports / Technical/regulatory viability of scalable options to produce RE from wind/locks/tide/solar/wave, integrated with the harbor infrastructure, will be investigated, field tested and monitored by NPorts.
- Final dissemination event / 1 final conference will disseminate the project's results & Strategy. Invited: ports & their local/regional authorities, port associations, energy sector and RE resources providers, shipping/transport operators, organisations engaged in REDII PORTS.
- VIDEO: marketing tool for RED II solutions for ports / A video will be realised by HHM with the other partners to use as communication and marketing tool to bring the identified and tested solutions to the market through the intermediation of the REDII participating ports.
- LAB SET UP CCU FOR RENEWABLE METHANOL GENERATION FROM BIOMASS, EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION ENGINES AND CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE AIR WITH TEST INSTALLATION FOR METHANOL POWERED ENGINE TO USE AS DEMONSTRATOR FOR THE PILOTS + RESULTS SHARING / A small scale laboratory setup CCU from VIVES will produce renewable methanol based on hydrogen and garbage/waste + small scale demo for methanol-based shore power. Useful testing to support Brittany studies (WP2.4).
- CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOPS on the application of RE from different sources (waste/garbage/CCU/…) to energy storage systems in ports / Workshops: on methodology; setup of CCU (engineers, students, ports); use of methanol for combustion engines (engineers, students, ports)

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- By focusing on Renewable Energy generation in/through harbours, REDII Ports will directly contribute to one of the GD's guiding principle, i.e. ensuring a secure and affordable EU energy supply. It will also address the issue of interconnecting different alternative power sources (H2, methanol, ammonia, biofuel) and reducing emissions in shipping (e.g. via shore power/zero-low emission fuels) and port towns.
- By testing and demonstrating the value of introducing alternative fuels and RE solutions in or via harbours, REDII PORTS also addresses the Integrated Maritime Policy's objective of maximising the sustainable use of seas with a focus on shipping and seaports.
- REDII PORTS is clearly enabling the implementation of the guidelines set by the Renewable Energy Directive RED II 2018/2001 and its 2021 revision on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources as part of the EU Green Deal. By choosing to test several RE and green fuel options with REDII PORTS, the project partners adopted the Directive's guiding principle of technology neutrality in achieving GHG emissions reductions and removals and increasing resilience.
- More than 50 % of the REDII PORTS pilots are linked to alternative fuel infrastructure, hence the project directly meets the objective of the AFID Directive of setting up the right frameworks for developing available refuelling and recharging points for alternative fuel vehicles and vessels. It also goes in the direction of the Fit for 55 package incorporated in the recent proposed revision of the AFID that foresees greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 e.g. by onshore power supply.
- By focusing some of its pilots on green H2, REDII PORTS tackled the 2020 EU Hydrogen Strategy that recognises that hydrogen can be used as a feedstock, a fuel or an energy carrier and storage, and has many possible applications across industry, transport, power and buildings sectors. The adoption in shipping, trucks and ports will be considered in the project by several partners, from Britanny Region to NPorts, Zwolle, VIVES.
