Luka Koper is a project partner in SUPERALFUEL project, that was approved under Interreg IPA ADRION, Priority 3: Supporting a carbon neutral and better connected Adriatic and Ionian region.
The project includes participation of the Greek lead partner – the National Centre for Scientific Research “DEMOKRITOS”, along with project partners from five countries: Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Albania, and Serbia.
The overall objective of SUPERALFUEL is to support the increase of Short Sea Shipping in the Adriatic-Ionian Sea basin as sustainable transport mode through joint developed actions, including the promotion of the use of alternative fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, methanol) and last /first mile environmentally friendly solutions. It will demonstrate the sustainability of alternative fuels at ports, for bunkering, fuel supply and for ship propulsion. We will develop a study that will examine various aspects of supplying ships with alternative fuels (Hydrogen, ammonia, methanol) in the port of Koper, including the use of supply vessels, trucks, risk analysis, the simultaneous execution of commercial operations during bunkering, the need for the change of work and communication processes, and more.
Project duration: 1.7.2024 – 30.6.2027
