PACECO Corp. has started commercial operations for the world\u2019s <\/p>\n

first hydrogen fuel cell-powered Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) crane at the Port of <\/p>\n

Los Angeles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PACECO<\/p>\n

The H2-ZE RTG Transtainer Crane, developed in collaboration with MITSUI <\/p>\n

E&S and funded by Japan\u2019s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development <\/p>\n

Organization (NEDO), began operations at Yusen Terminals Inc. (YTI) on 15 <\/p>\n

May.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is the first fully hydrogen-powered RTG crane in commercial use <\/p>\n

worldwide.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This crane reportedly operates entirely on hydrogen fuel-cell technology, <\/p>\n

achieving zero emissions without relying on the electric grid. MITSUI E&S <\/p>\n

designed and built the fuel-cell power pack (FCPP) in Oita, Japan, with Toyota <\/p>\n

Tsusho providing the hydrogen. The FCPP system can also be retrofitted to <\/p>\n

existing diesel RTGs to eliminate emissions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The pilot project at Yusen Terminals will run for four years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBy introducing the H2-ZE RTG Transtainer Crane, we are leading our <\/p>\n

industry in significantly reducing emissions,\u201d said Troy Collard, General <\/p>\n

Manager of Sales at PACECO.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have this crane operational in Los Angeles and grateful <\/p>\n

to our partners for their support.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Initially, the crane will operate for 16 hours daily, maintaining <\/p>\n

efficiency comparable to conventional diesel or hybrid RTG cranes while reducing <\/p>\n

noise pollution for port workers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe debut of this crane at the Port of Los Angeles represents a major step <\/p>\n

forward in port technology,\u201d added Takunari Minamizono, Project Manager at <\/p>\n

MITSUI E&S.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to showcase hydrogen fuel cell capabilities and our <\/p>\n

commitment to sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This project is part of a broader New Energy and Industrial Technology <\/p>\n

Development Organization\u2019s (NEDO) initiative demonstrating a hydrogen supply <\/p>\n

chain, from local clean production to consumption in port equipment and trucks <\/p>\n

powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The large-scale production of hydrogen is becoming increasingly significant <\/p>\n

in the maritime industry. Recently, the Canadian Port of Argentia and the <\/p>\n

Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to collaborate on <\/p>\n

exporting and importing green hydrogen from Canada to Germany.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
