João Metelo leads Gateway Zero, focused on offshore wind and green fuels to unlock economic opportunities. Attracting capital and implementing projects are also objectives.
An innovative company, led by João Metelo, is dedicated to exploring opportunities to modernize port infrastructures for renewable energy and other energy transition technologies. Gateway Zero, created by Metelo, is on a mission to unlock the path to carbon neutrality through the continued expansion of global offshore wind energy and seize new economic opportunities for ports and coastal infrastructure in decarbonization, energy storage and green fuels.
The expansion of offshore wind energy will generate major investment in ports and ships in Europe and the US by 2030, but limitations in existing port infrastructure are quickly becoming a bottleneck to the deployment of fixed and floating offshore wind projects. Furthermore, in a broader decarbonization effort, a large investment of capital will be required in coastal infrastructure dedicated to the modernization of ports for energy transition. Gateway Zero is ‘actively pursuing’ opportunities to develop and invest in projects together with ports, public authorities and other value chain partners, offering them a bridge into the clean energy sector and attracting major capital as needed.
Modernization of ports for energy transition boosts development
The modernization of port infrastructure and coastal areas for the energy transition has been a priority in many regions. The transition to renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind energy, has driven the search to modernize ports and coastal infrastructure to accommodate new demands.

Challenges and opportunities in modernizing ports for energy transition
Modernizing ports for the energy transition presents challenges, but it also offers great opportunities for the sector. A decarbonisation and the energy storage They are essential elements for the energy transition, and the modernization of port infrastructure is essential to facilitate this transition.
Investments for the modernization of coastal infrastructure for renewable energy
Investments for the modernization of coastal infrastructure aim not only at the energy transition, but also at expansion and unlocking the potential of renewable energy. Attracting capital for modernization projects is crucial to ensuring carbon neutrality and implantation of green technologies.
Experience and capital to drive port modernization
Modernizing ports for the energy transition requires not only financing, but also human capital and experience in implementing infrastructure projects. Attracting capital for the modernization of port infrastructure is essential to accelerate the energy transition and achieve sustainability objectives.
Public-private partnerships in the modernization of ports and coastal infrastructure
Modernizing ports for the energy transition requires collaboration between the public and private sectors. Public-private partnerships are essential to ensure the success of modernization projects and to attract investment to upgrade coastal infrastructure for renewable energy.
