Towards an emission-neutral Port of Barcelona
Nexigen is an ambitious plan for the electrification of the docks to supply electrical energy, of renewable origin, to ships during their stay in the port. The investment of 130 million euros will allow the installation of Onshore Power Supply (OPS) that will prevent ferries and cargo ships from having to turn on their engines and avoiding emissions.
The sustainable transformation of the Port of Barcelona
Four major initiatives in the port's transition to decarbonization
The Port of Barcelona's commitment to rail takes 172,521 trucks off the roads every year.
While green fuels such as bio-fuels, e-fuels, synfuels and green hydrogen are consolidating, the port is leading the way in the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
We work to improve the effectiveness and environmental efficiency of our services and activities, optimising the use of available resources, promoting their reuse and reducing waste generation as far as possible..
The Port of Barcelona is working to achieve a photovoltaic production capacity in existing buildings and roofs within the port territory of between 92 and 100 MW of power and an annual electricity production of between 120 and 150 GWh.
