NET ZERO RIVER PLAN FOR THE THAMES


Working together to accelerate progress towards decarbonising the Thames, the
Port of London Authority (PLA) and a coalition of terminal and vessel operators
and supporting stakeholders, have today published a plan for a Net Zero future.

The Net Zero River Plan identifies four priority themes to accelerate the move
to Net Zero: alternative fuels and infrastructure adoption; clear regulation and
legislation, funding, and reliable data.

Find out more







TIDAL THAMES MASTERPLAN


Producing a masterplan for the tidal river is a key PLA action to deliver the
Thames Vision 2050.

It aims to match Vision actions and goals to wider planning and other policy
guidance, to realise growth opportunities along the Thames, and integrate the
river into the economy and local communities.

Drawing on our unique mix of marine and planning expertise, our goal is for the
Tidal Thames Masterplan to capture all potential strategic opportunities on the
river and provide clarity in decision-making processes.

Developed in partnership with local authorities and other partners to guide
investment decisions, including for developers, it draws out the local
opportunities for trade, travel, sport and nature along the Thames and its
riparian hinterland, in line with the Thames Vision’s three central themes:
Trading Thames, Destination Thames and Natural Thames.
