Solar paving was installed on the Port of Valencia’s deck by Solum as part of the SuperLabPorts initiative, which is co-financed by the Valenciaport Foundation with the support of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) and within the framework of the EIT Climate-KIC Accelerator.
About Resilient, Net-Zero-Emissions Maritime Hubs
The maritime sector accounts for 90 per cent of global trade and 2.2 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – a figure projected to increase threefold by 2050. By working with partners on land (ports) and sea (the shipping industry) we can achieve our ambition to create a low carbon, circular and inclusive maritime sector.
Early partners include the Port of Valencia (through our partner Valencia Port Foundation), the Port of Piraeus (through Athena) and the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Shipping (through our partners Chrysalis Leap, Cyprus University of Technology and Cyprus Energy Agency).

Following its Open Call, the New Accelerator programme has assembled a consortium of new and current EIT Climate-KIC partners to foster European entrepreneurship to tackle climate change.
