Abstract

En 中文
Countries are increasingly adopting hydrogen, leading to growing interest in developing sustainable hydrogen supply chains. Ports, being essential nodes in supply chains, must be prepared to facilitate hydrogen exports. However, there is a shortage of thorough port readiness studies for hydrogen exports. Existing research remains fragmented or confined to individual case studies, offering no transferable framework. This study fills this gap by creating a framework that covers four essential aspects of port readiness for exporting hydrogen: infrastructure, safety, legal, and management. The ports of the United Arab Emirates served as a case study, and the Delphi method was used to validate and contextualize the proposed framework. This study demonstrates the framework's capacity to identify deficiencies in port readiness across multiple dimensions, helping stakeholders to plan and make decisions more easily.
