Barcelona, Spain | December 4, 2025 – The Port of Barcelona has unveiled its ambitious Energy Transition Plan, a strategic roadmap designed to transform the port into a low-carbon, sustainable energy hub and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2040 compared with 2017 levels. . The environmental focus is an essential element to guarantee the port-city fit and to ensure the type of future growth that the Port of Barcelona seeks. But also to contribute to modernisation and differentiation in an increasingly globalised world trade context. Large ports are prioritising and. . Positive Impact Port was launched in 2015 after the Port of Barcelona realized that it could not fully answer a key stakeholder question: “How sustainable is the Port Community?”. The approach serves as a best practice example of how to promote environmental management systems successfully and in a collaborative manner.
