ACES aims to facilitate and accelerate cross-sectoral energy and sustainability transition in Norwegian ports. The project intends to achieve this by:
- Elevating the importance of energy transition around ports on the national policy agenda by facilitating the development of visions and strategies.
- Strengthening the transition capacity in individual ports through collaborative creation of transition agendas, visions, and role development.
- Promoting exchange and coordination between national and port-specific transition efforts.
