This presentation will share an update on the progress being made to decarbonise the Shoreham Port Industrial Cluster. Covering decarbonisation projects and outcomes on both land and water, the presentation will detail how the Port is investing in electrification, alternative fuels and battery storage to reduce our impact on the environment. Future plans will be shared as the Port makes progress towards our Masterplan objective of ‘Delivering net zero (scopes 1 & 2) by 2035, expanding renewable generation and continuing to be a catalyst for decarbonisation across our ecosystem (scope 3)’
