H2Ports

What is it about?

The H2Ports project will demonstrate and validate two innovative solutions based on FC technologies and a hydrogen mobile supply station specifically designed for the project at the Port of Valencia. A Reach Stacker to be tested in MSC Terminal Valencia and a Yard Tractor to be tested in Valencia Terminal Europa (part of Grimaldi’s group) have been selected as those specially fitted to the use of Fuel Cells in port facilities. The project runs the equipment daily in real operational activities and analyses ways of improving the energy efficiency, performance, and safety of operations with Fuel Cell port equipment. The project will also take into account transversal issues such as the human factor, regulation, the future rollout of the technology on a fully commercial basis, and awareness raising on the potential of hydrogen adoption as an alternative fuel in port equipment.
