Ports as indispensable links in the energy transition

The Offshore Experience is the premier conference for professionals and students in the offshore sector. It offers unique opportunities to learn about innovations, discuss current topics, and network with colleagues.

Ports are crucial in the energy transition, particularly for transporting offshore wind energy to end users. This creates spatial planning dilemmas, such as the location of industrial companies and the transport of energy to the hinterland. Hydrogen production adds additional pressure due to the space required for electrolyzers. These choices also have social impacts, such as economic activity and employment.
