A morning tour of the Port of Barcelona on Thursday, 12 June will be led by Maurici Hervas, Energy Transition Manager, and it will offer an overview of the following initiatives:
This is a flagship project of the Port of Barcelona to electrify the docks and reduce emissions, with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. By 2030, the Adossat and Prat docks and the Sant Bertran and Costa ferry terminals will be fully electrified. Thanks to Nexigen, the port will reduce NOx and CO₂ emissions from ships at berth by 38%.
The first phase of the Nexigen plan was completed in April 2025 with the launch of the first OPS (Onshore Power Supply) system for ferries at the Grimaldi Terminal Barcelona.
This new innovation hub for the blue economy is strategically located between the city, the port and Montjuïc Hill, creating a new link between the port and the city. With a surface area of 25,000 m² and capacity for 2,500 workers, the complex will be completed by 2027.
Europe’s first major green hydrogen corridor includes a pilot project for electric straddle carriers. The Catalan terminal is the only one in Spain to permanently host a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker. The project includes the construction of a green hydrogen pipeline between Barcelona and Marseille, which is expected to be operational by 2030.
