作为欧洲最大的港口，鹿特丹港每年产生的与化石燃料相关的碳排放量约为 6 亿吨 [1]。目前该工业集群的年度排放量高达约 2900 万吨二氧化碳，约占荷兰国内排放总量的一半 [1]。面对巨大的减排需求，环保组织“未来倡导者”（Advocates for the Future）已提起诉讼，要求港口当局制定具体的逐步淘汰化石能源计划 [1]。对此，鹿特丹港务局强调其已设定明确目标，计划在 2030 年前将直接和采购能源的排放量减少 90% [1]。此外，该机构表示正在推进氢能枢纽建设和碳捕获等基础设施项目以应对转型挑战 [1]。
Europe's largest port is facing increasing pressure to accelerate its green transition due to massive fossil fuel-related carbon emissions [1]. The Port of Rotterdam generates approximately 600 megatonnes of CO2 annually linked to fossil fuels [1]. This industrial cluster currently accounts for roughly half of the Netherlands' total domestic emissions, releasing about 29 million tonnes of CO2 per year [1].
Environmental organization "Advocates for the Future" has filed a lawsuit demanding that port authorities develop specific plans to phase out fossil energy sources . In response, the Port Authority emphasizes that it has established emission reduction targets and is advancing infrastructure projects such as hydrogen hubs and carbon capture facilities . The authority's stated goal is to reduce direct and purchased energy emissions by 90% by 2030 [1].
