The H2Ports project co-funded by the FCH JU will support the port of Valencia to launch the € 4 mln pilot project to utilise fuel cells to power a reach stacker and a terminal tractor at the port’s Grimaldi and MSC terminals. The project will involve the installation of a mobile hydrogen station supporting the decarbonisation of the port’s logistics chain.
In a statement, Port of Valencia said: “With the implementation of the actions derived from the H2Ports project, the Port Authority and the port community continue on the path of finding less polluting fuels for their use in ports and thus contribute to the decarbonisation of the activities related to the transport.”. Valenciaport Foundation, National Hydrogen Center, MSC Terminal Valencia, Grimaldi Group, and Hyster-Yale, Atena, will also participate in H2Ports.
