Bio- LNG Terminal at Brest Port
The energy transition needed to decarbonize the transportation of goods will profoundly alter the business models of today’s multimodal hubs like Brest Port. They will need to manage very diversified energy offers and define the appropriate way to transition and to invest in these new energies at various maturity stages.

The energy revolution to decarbonize the transportation of goods promises to be particularly challenging, given that it will profoundly alter the business models of today’s multimodal hubs.
These hubs will need to manage an extremely diversified energy offer, potentially including new services for imports or the production of new fuels and electricity for use in ports and on ships. The hydrogen molecule, recombined in various forms in so-called synthetic fuels (E-methane, methanol, ammonia, etc.), will undoubtedly meet the needs of heavy goods transportation.
These liquid or gaseous fuels will compete with batteries for more local-based mobility uses. The transition is already underway, with the arrival of Liquefied Natural Gas produced from plant sources.
