Can green hydrogen decarbonise the shipping sector?

euronews (in English)

Can green hydrogen decarbonise the shipping sector?  The maritime industry is very important in the North Sea region, and the sector is a major contributor of CO2 emissions. The cross-border Zero Emissions Ports North Sea project explored solutions to decarbonise shipping.  In partnership with the European Commission  READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2025/09/01/can-green-hydrogen-decarbonise-the-shipping-sector  Subscribe to our channel.

00:00Zero Emissions Ports North Sea, or let's call it Zem Ports in short, is all about helping

00:16ports to make the transition towards clean and green shipping. So it focuses on using

00:23zero emission fuels such as green hydrogen or green electricity. It was a collaboration

00:30between five different partners from Sweden, from Denmark, from the UK and here from the Netherlands.

00:38The emissions by maritime shipping do not stop at the border. It's a problem for the whole North

00:44Sea region. We need a joint strategy, we need joint knowledge, we need joint technology.

00:53The main achievements of the Zem Ports project, first of all, was of course the H2 Barge 1. We now see

01:01the first hydrogen powered vessels, but it was not the only thing that the project achieved. For

01:07example, it's very important to fuel this barge with hydrogen and for that the project also developed

01:14a mobile refuelling station. In Denmark we looked at ferries, ferries that were battery powered,

01:22and we looked at how ports can in a very smart way charge these vessels. All this will contribute

01:30as an inspiration to other ports, how to make this transition to more clean and green shipping.
