The Porthos CO₂ transport and storage project has received a nomination for the #IAPH2025 Sustainability Awards in the Climate and Energy category. Submitted by the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Porthos is among just three finalists chosen by an independent jury from a diverse pool of global submissions. This recognition underscores the project’s significant impact on CO₂ reduction.
Scheduled to commence in 2026, Porthos aims to transport CO₂ from industrial sources within the port to depleted gas fields beneath the North Sea for permanent storage. This initiative is projected to decrease CO₂ emissions in the Rotterdam port area by at least 10 percent, representing a significant move toward achieving a climate-neutral future.
Voting is currently open, and every vote is crucial. Interested individuals can cast their votes until September 5th through the World Port Sustainability Programme. Voters will receive a confirmation link via email, as only confirmed votes will be counted. The winners will be announced on October 8th during the gala dinner at the IAPH World Ports Conference in Kobe, Japan.
