DUAL Ports aims to decarbonise Regional Entrepreneurial Ports

(REPs) ́ resources through a shared eco-innovation port programme
that minimises their environmental footprint.

The objective of DUAL Ports is

  • reducing the environmental footprint
    of regional entrepreneurial ports.
  • improving the sustainability of port operational
    and administration resources.
  • promoting responsible growth and supporting
    eco-innovation oriented development.

The project will ultimately enhance ports’ energy efficiency
and performance, facilitating low carbonization at reduced cost,
with added value in terms of knowledge and investment.

  • DUAL Ports is an Interreg North Sea Region project started
    in December 2015, with a duration of 3 years. In December 2018
    DUAL Ports was extended until 2021 with an increase in partners,
    pilots and budget.
  • DUAL Ports is based on the operational pilots
    in Regional Entrepreneurial Ports (REP’s).
  • DUAL Ports will be measured in the concrete success of the pilots
    and the pilots’ tranferability to other REP’s.
  • DUAL Ports addresses the Programme objective of promoting
    resource efficiency and stimulate the adoption of new products,
    services and processes to reduce the environmental footprint of
    regions around the North Sea.
