The Net-Zero MAR Alliance is a collaborative platform whose main objective is to promote the decarbonisation and electrification of the maritime sector in Spain. This Alliance, initially promoted by Iberdrola, seeks to integrate the entire value chain of maritime transport and port infrastructures, and is fundamentally focused on accelerating the reduction of emissions in all activities related to maritime ports and on promoting the use of alternative fuels that are low or free of polluting emissions in maritime transport.

Among the functions that Fundación Valenciaport will carry out as technical secretariat of this platform are the management of relations with current partners; the promotion of the Alliance among the representative groups of the maritime sector and attracting new potential partners and participation in forums and events of the sector. It will also take on the tasks of technical coordination, organising the working groups, administrative management and external communication.
