Webinar: Handling ammonia in ports – from masterplan to berth design

10-02-2025

Discover how the benefits from hydrogen fuels can safely be integrated into your port.

Join our webinar and get a port’s view on ammonia

As the world transitions away from fossil fuels and the renewable energy market grows, the need for safe and robust supply chains is increasing. Hydrogen carriers like ammonia will play an important role in the way we power the planet in the future, but they rely on ports and shipping for their transportation and distribution.

This is creating a huge opportunity for port authorities, government bodies, and investors. And we want to help you seize it.

Join our webinar to hear experts in the field discuss the important role of hydrogen fuels in the future, and how you can balance safe and sustainable innovation as you get involved.

The webinar will cover:

How regulation around ammonia is evolving and the lessons governments that are more advanced in the energy transition can teach us about handling it safely
Learn from Air Products on how they handled permitting and design of their ammonia jetty
Expert insights from the Port of Rotterdam discussing the potential of this new market in a build environment and some of its drawbacks
How to incorporate ammonia into port planning with a real-world example
