Method development for hydrogen master plan in ports
The report 'Development of Methodology for Master Plans' was prepared within the project North Sea Hydrogen Valley Ports by ISL (Institute for Sustainable Logistics) en University of CaenThe document was developed to support the four participating ports of Bremen, Brest, Den Helder, and Esbjerg in moving from ambitions to feasible projects for green hydrogen production, storage, supply, and use.
About the report
The report describes a practical method for developing a port master plan for hydrogen implementation. It provides insights into, among other things:
- 7-phase method for port master plans: from preparation and analysis to planning, economic analysis, governance, implementation and monitoring.
- Data-driven planning with modeling: structured data collection and a 'port avatar' to substantiate scenarios and choices.
- Optimization on two levels: local optimization for asset sizing and business case, and global optimization for exchange between ports within one hub/corridor.
- Regulation and governance as a fixed component: identify obstacles and establish a clear governance structure with roles and decision-making.
