What we achieve
For the first time in the Programme Area all the ports jointly tackle the issue of clean energy transition. All project activities will be developed across borders, involving all project partners, improving institutional cooperation in clean energy transition at transnational level, with benefits in the whole MED Area.
STATE OF ART
During the first year of RENEWPORT, Project Partners prepared a Preliminary benchmarking study, assessing the regions against each other in terms of RES adoption and best practices. They analyzed the status quo in this domain, assessing the existing share and source of renewable energy in participating ports, investigating good practices in the European and international context, also derived from ongoing and past EU projects, which could be replicated at MED level. The study includes also the joint methodology for the development of the RES toolkit for MED ports, with potential content and options.
The toolkit is designed to compare the solar and wind potential of Mediterranean ports. The aim was to create a tool that allows inexperienced users to estimate solar or wind energy generation for a given area, while also enabling expert users to input detailed parameters for more precise calculations. This flexibility ensures that the toolkit will be accessible to a broad range of stakeholders while maintaining high accuracy for technical users. Based on this, a demo version of the RENEWPORT RES toolkit for MED ports has been prepared and shared among partners to test its functionalities, jointly peer review and evaluate the toolkit. The toolkit has a form of a web tool and can be used by any port in the MED area – and beyond- and endows policy makers with increased capacities to plan their clean energy transition of MED ports by exploiting renewable energy sources.
The toolkit is not yet finished. It will be improved following the communication rules of the Interreg Euro-Med Programme and the tests managed by the partners.
