Abstract
Despite growing attention from international and national policies, the implementation of alternative fuel infrastructure and value chains is limited in Norwegian ports. In this report, we analyse to what extent the existing international and Norwegian policies address the challenges that port actors experience in implementing alternative fuel infrastructures and value chains, particularly those based on clean hydrogen (ammonia, methanol, etc). Based on a review of IMO, EU and Norwegian policies, as well as insights from interviews and workshops done in ACES project, we conclude that the existing policies substantially address the key challenges highlighted by port actors. However, further bottlenecks remain, including lack of space in port areas, immature regulations, and limited (inter)national coordination of infrastructure networks.
