MUNICIPAL COMPANY, CITY OF GOTHENBURG

We aim to be the world’s most sustainable port.

To be worthy of that title we promise 70% lower CO2 emissions by 2030. And we are well on our way – that’s why we are the Green Connection. 

Perhaps the biggest challenge we face today is the transition from a fossil-fueled society to one that runs on sustainable energy sources. It’s a gargantuan task that affects almost everything everywhere and that requires immense effort from all parts of society – science, business and politics. As the largest energy port in Scandinavia, we push the development by investing heavily in support of tomorrow’s energy solutions and the transition to green energy.

BUNKERING IN THE PORT TODAY

  • 2.5 – 3 millions tons bunker fuel in area (Gothenburg – Skaw)

  • Approx. 1.7 million tons sources from
    Port of Gothenburg 2/3 of Swedish volumes

  • Approx. 2,500 bunkering operations yearly

  • Sizable bunker cluster

  • Products bunkered today: MGO, VLSFO, WRD, LNG, LBG, METHANOL, BIOFUELS

FUTURE FUELS

  • eMethanol

  • bioMethanol

  • e-Methane

  • bioMethane

  • Biofuels

  • Ammonia

  • Hydrogen

OUR AMBITIONS FOR THE VARIOUS FUELS

  • Increase of Biofuels

  • LBG storage / Liquification pipe to jetty

  • eMethanol full value chain

  • Ammonia. Learning process is started

  • Hydrogen production within the port

  • Increase of shore power connections

2022 INTRODUCING METHANOL REGULATIONS

  • Potential emmision reduction 95 %

  • Exsisting infrastructure can be used

  • Similar to LNG in risk profile

By 2030 the Port of Gothenburg have set out the ambitious target to reduce shipping emissions by 70% within the port area. One key step to reach this goal is to provide a variety of shipping fuels that contribute to bring down emissions – in the port as well as on a global scale. Many initiatives are taken around the world with net zero vessels now in the order books.

From the Port of Gothenburg we want to support this by enabling these vessels to take bunker at their convenience. Therefore, we are happy to share that we have received acceptance from the Swedish Transport Agency for the general methanol operating regulations for ship-to-ship bunkering.

As this is a general approval for the port, each terminal will do a complementary risk assessment but this is more of a formality when the general guidelines now are in place.

Now we hope to see many other shipping lines routing their new methanol vessels to the North of Europe and we would be delighted to welcome them with open arms to the largest port in Scandinavia.

The Port of Gothenburg is aiming to become the primary bunkering hub for renewable methanol in Northern Europe. Therefore we are making arrangements to setup a value chain with the determination to provide
E-methanol in the port by 2025.

We are also supporting the initiatives for building LBG storage and LBG liquification with pipe to jetty connections with the ambition of having LBG storage in place 2024/2025.
