Sustainable relation between ports and ships is one of the emerging factor in maritime industry. Apart from city-port framework, there is hardly an independent mechanism for port sustainable development, specifically within the energy context. In last years, ship waste management and reduction of the negative externalities of the ships, have been among the priorities of the European ports. To address these issues, circular economy (CE) application in ports has gained a significant attention. This research will investigate the application of a CE model in the Copenhagen-Malmö Port, as a case study. The innovative State-of-Art model introduced in this research, deals with the feasibility of a circular economy loop to give added value to the large amount of the waste in Copenhagen-Malmö Port. The proposed model includes elements like waste management, port-owned biogas plant and cold ironing to close the waste-to-energy loop from/to ships. For different amounts of the wastes, three scenarios are assumed and investigated in Copenhagen-Malmö Port. Each scenario is followed with a cost-benefit analysis to show the feasibility of the CE model. The research concludes with the feasibility of the CE approach for the Copenhagen-Malmo Port and further analyse the benefits and costs of establishment such model for all scenarios. Keywords: Seaport, ship, waste management, circular economy, green biogas power plant, clean energy, shore-to-ship power supply, self-sustainability. iv Contents 1.
