Decarbonisation is the solution to reduce the carbon footprint and combat climate change by promoting responsible practices such as the use of green hydrogen technologies. In particular, the maritime transport sector represents one of the most significant and challenging sectors to decarbonize from an environmental perspective, particularly in terms of its reliance on non-renewable fuels. In particular, the production of green hydrogen, synthesised by electrolysis using renewable energy sources, results in zero carbon emissions, making it a crucial vector for the decarbonisation of strategic sectors. In this perspective, the EU Interreg Marittimo IT-FR-Maritime H2MOVE project aims to transform Mediterranean ports into sustainable maritime hubs by analysing the technological, economic and regulatory issues of integrating hydrogen technologies in ports. The H2MOVE project mainly promotes some key activities to transform ports into sustainable hubs: (I) create a strategic cooperation committee in the cooperation area to support the green transition; (II) involve universities and centres of excellence in green energy to provide scientific support regarding H2 technologies and assess the technological feasibility; (III) analyse the regulatory plans of the involved nations; (IV) encourage the production of a master plan that reviews and summarises all strategies (EU, national and regional) and finally (VI) identify and categorise the hydrogen ecosystem along the supply chain between the involved region and analyse the green hydrogen demand.

Abstract
Decarbonisation is the solution to reduce the carbon footprint and combat climate change by promoting responsible practices such as the use of green hydrogen technologies. In particular, the maritime transport sector represents one of the most significant and challenging sectors to decarbonize from an environmental perspective, particularly in terms of its reliance on non-renewable fuels. In particular, the production of green hydrogen, synthesised by electrolysis using renewable energy sources, results in zero carbon emissions, making it a crucial vector for the decarbonisation of strategic sectors. In this perspective, the EU Interreg Marittimo IT-FR-Maritime H2MOVE project aims to transform Mediterranean ports into sustainable maritime hubs by analysing the technological, economic and regulatory issues of integrating hydrogen technologies in ports. The H2MOVE project mainly promotes some key activities to transform ports into sustainable hubs: (I) create a strategic cooperation committee in the cooperation area to support the green transition; (II) involve universities and centres of excellence in green energy to provide scientific support regarding H2 technologies and assess the technological feasibility; (III) analyse the regulatory plans of the involved nations; (IV) encourage the production of a master plan that reviews and summarises all strategies (EU, national and regional) and finally (VI) identify and categorise the hydrogen ecosystem along the supply chain between the involved region and analyse the green hydrogen demand. The Interreg Marittimo IT-FR H2MOVE project aims to create a new cross-border vision between Italy and France that can be developed on a large scale, and the main activities are structured into three work packages. WP1 analyses the governance, the legal framework and the regional, national and European action plans; WP2 defines a master plan up to 2050 for the development of the hydrogen supply chain; finally, WP3 foresees pilot actions and technical and scientific feasibility studies. The coalition and the work of the partners will ensure that a solid and comprehensive public database on the Hydrogen Valleys will be established. The Hydrogen Valleys platform currently being developed includes a large number of valleys that are expected to receive investment over the next few years.
