As COP26 closes, thoughts inevitably turn to turning words into quantifiable action. One way in which industry can assist in meeting decarbonisation targets has always been finding suitable alternative fuel sources and the Port of London Authority has been investigating the practical and economic incentives attached to hydrogen fuel development. Head of Environment Tanya Ferry explains how the PLA is planning to work with other ports to make hydrogen and affordable for all.

As part of our UKMPG at COP26 series, we invited Belfast Harbour to provide further details on their Green Seas Consortium project and what they are doing to foster a sustainable and economically viable organisation.

Pressure is mounting on companies to take immediate action of climate change. Many still fear that the capital investment in such measures could negatively impact their business model. PD Ports believes however that decarbonisation is a key pillar of their strategy to be the UK's most successful port region by 2050.

With COP 26 underway, UKMPG members outline their plans to reduce their carbon footprint and solve climate change. Stephen Abraham from Hutchison Ports, one of the participants of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, offers their approach to minimising their environmental impact.
