CONCEPT

The POTENT-X project (Ports as Energy Transition Hubs) aims to transform European maritime ports into energy hubs by establishing Living Labs Networks across Europe. These networks enable collaboration between stakeholders and real-life testing of clean energy innovations.

FIVE POTENT-X IMPACTS

Discover the main five impacts behind POTENT-X and how the project will power the future of ports.

Collaborative Innovations Across Europe:

POTENT-X brings together 7 partners from Sweden, Denmark, and Spain to create innovative energy solutions for European ports.

Living Labs in Action:

POTENT-X establishes Living Labs Networks across Europe to test and implement clean energy technologies in real-world settings.

Electrifying Ports with Renewables and Power-to-X:

POTENT-X drives renewable energy integration in ports through offshore wind and synthetic grids, enhancing resilience. Power-to-X technologies and sustainable models accelerate clean energy adoption.

Advancing Digital Infrastructure:

By implementing smart ports and digital twins, POTENT-X enables ports to achieve higher energy efficiency, pushing clean technologies to Technology Readiness Level 7.

Engaging Stakeholders for Societal Impact:

POTENT-X focuses on aligning port energy transitions with societal needs, ensuring public acceptance while targeting Societal Readiness Level 6 for sustainable success.

METHODOLOGY

THe European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL)

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is an international non-profit association based in Brussels (Belgium) that aims to promote and enhance user-driven innovation ecosystems, more precisely, the Living Labs concept. ENoLL focuses on facilitating knowledge exchange, joint actions, and project partnerships among its +480 members, influencing EU policies, promoting Living Labs, and enabling their implementation worldwide.


The ENoLL network aims to create pan-European experiments and prototypes for new markets, based on the Digital Single Market. It is an open engagement platform where new business models can be co-designed, experimented with, and developed, all based on a quadruple helix approach, creating safety nets for experiments and prototypes with new roles of the public sector as enabler and catalyzer.
