BLUE PORTS | D2.5 Identification of present and future skills needs 363.1.5.CONCLUSIONSDemographic DataThe survey yielded 145 responses, a commendable result which provides a broad and representative spectrum of various demographics and professional backgrounds. The survey results offer a comprehensive and diverse perspective across age, experience, education, gender, job roles, and organizational contexts, making them highly significant for designing targeted and effective sector-specific training programs.Green Transition Areas%u2022 All the sub-areas included in the Environmental Protection area, i.e., Environmental Pollution, Environmental Safety, Carbon Footprint and Corporate Social Responsibility, are in the highest positions regarding the three questions: current level of knowledge, relevance for the daily work and required skills for the organization by 2030.%u2022 A different situation is the case of Energy Management Systems, where the current level of knowledge is %u201cBasic%u201d, but it is expected to be the most required area by 2030. Therefore, there is a significant need for training in this field. In the case of AI for Energy Optimization, there is also need for training due to the gap between level of knowledge and future need.%u2022 For Mitigation of Climate Change, Electrification and Waste Valorisation, the current level of knowledge is %u201cBasic%u201d, the relevance for the daily job is moderate, which is also the case for the future need in these sub-areas. The results for Climate ChangeAdaptation, Zero waste and End-of-life rank them in moderate-low positions in all three categories.%u2022 Respondents indicate limited knowledge in Energy Storage and AI for Energy Optimization, though they believe these sub-areas will be moderately required by 2030.This highlights a gap between current knowledge and future needs, and therefore trainings are required.%u2022 Finally, Alternative Fuels are at the opposite position compared to Environmental Protection: all four sub-areas ranked lowest across the three questions: current level of knowledge, relevance for the daily work and required for the organization by 2030: (from the bottom) Ammonia, Methanol, Hydrogen and Biofuels.Current Education/Training in Green Transition AreasRespondents' knowledge levels in Energy Transition and Blue Economy in ports varied from %u201cNo Knowledge%u201d to %u201cAdvanced Knowledge%u201d. Key findings include:%uf0a7 Areas with Highest Training Levels: Environmental protection followed by Energy transition.
