\n

The Port of Gothenburg has completed one of its largest <\/p>\n

infrastructure projects ever, carrying out emission-free excavation work using a <\/p>\n

hydrogen generator featuring completely new technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Port<\/p>\n

The generator is a scalable and portable plug-and-play solution that can be <\/p>\n

easily moved and used on the go. It includes fuel cell modules, power <\/p>\n

electronics, cooling, auxiliary systems and an intelligent control system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hitachi Energy\u2019s technology partner, PowerCell Group, provided the power <\/p>\n

modules and expertise in fuel cell integration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pilot tests at the new terminal area, Arendal 2 in the Port of Gothenburg <\/p>\n

mark the first field test of Hitachi Energy\u2019s hydrogen generator.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The generator has been in operation for the last two weeks using green <\/p>\n

hydrogen from Linde Gas to generate electricity for a charging station <\/p>\n

on-site.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In turn, the charging station supplies electricity to an electric excavator <\/p>\n

from Volvo, which is used in one of the port\u2019s major infrastructure projects <\/p>\n

where 140,000 square metres of new terminal area is being created in the outer <\/p>\n

areas of the Port of Gothenburg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arendal 2 is the largest terminal development project in the Port of <\/p>\n

Gothenburg since the 1970s. The terminal area rests on a foundation of blasted <\/p>\n

stone and contaminated dredged material reused as fill material.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stabilisation and solidification of contaminated dredged material are new <\/p>\n

techniques developed during the project\u2019s early stages in 2016.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, it\u2019s particularly exciting that we\u2019ve had the opportunity to test the <\/p>\n

facility in this project, where collaboration, sustainability, and innovative <\/p>\n

solutions have truly characterised the work from day one,\u201d said David Nor\u00e9n, <\/p>\n

Project Manager for Arendal 2 at the Gothenburg Port Authority.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Port of Gothenburg aims to reduce port-related CO2 emissions by 70 per <\/p>\n

cent, from Vinga out to sea, to the entire Gothenburg area on land.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hydrogen has GHG reduction potential in all these areas, reported Viktor <\/p>\n

Allgur\u00e9n, Innovation Manager at the Gothenburg Port Authority.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a diverse and energy-intensive operation like a port, there are many <\/p>\n

areas of use,\u201d Allgur\u00e9n said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be used as fuel for trucks, trains, or handling equipment in <\/p>\n

terminals, for propulsion of ships, or to support the power grid when a ship is <\/p>\n

connected to shore power. So the use of hydrogen fits perfectly into the port <\/p>\n

context.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Late last year, the Skandia Gateway project received the final approval <\/p>\n

from the EU Commission, paving the way for the fairway deepening at the Port of <\/p>\n

Gothenburg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, APM Terminals (APMT) Gothenburg welcomed the launch of <\/p>\n

a new weekly MSC route to the US and South America.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
