\n

The Port of Tilbury, RWE, and Mitsui are collaborating on an <\/p>\n

innovative hydrogen project as part of a recently signed Memorandum of <\/p>\n

Understanding (MoU) for two green hydrogen projects at the port.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Port<\/p>\n

RWE is a UK-based power generator and a world player in renewable <\/p>\n

generation, while Mitsui is a global trading and investment company.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Through the MoU, the organisations will complete two parallel work <\/p>\n

streams:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A small scale \u2018proof of concept\u2019 demonstrator project to produce green <\/p>\n

hydrogen for decarbonising items of port equipment by switching from fossil <\/p>\n

fuels to hydrogen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An initial study into a 10-megawatt green hydrogen plant. The facility will <\/p>\n

be developed on Port of Tilbury land previously housing a coal-fired power <\/p>\n

station, transforming an area historically associated with fossil fuel power <\/p>\n

generation to green hydrogen production, at the heart of the Thames <\/p>\n

Freeport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The project will also look at options to scale up development over a <\/p>\n

10-year period upwards of 100 megawatts. The hydrogen would be used for port <\/p>\n

infrastructure and operations in addition to providing green hydrogen to the <\/p>\n

surrounding industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Peter Ward, Commercial Director at the Port of Tilbury, and Thames Freeport <\/p>\n

lead said: \u201cThis is an important opportunity to support the Port of Tilbury\u2019s <\/p>\n

commitment to achieving net zero for our customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOur business has set out our ambition to be carbon neutral by 2032 and net <\/p>\n

zero by 2042 by investing in the infrastructure in the ports.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of Thames Freeport, our MoU with RWE and Mitsui to develop a new <\/p>\n

hydrogen plant at the Port of Tilbury will help accelerate the UK\u2019s path to a <\/p>\n

decarbonised economy and support our vision for low carbon logistics,\u201d Ward <\/p>\n

added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Steve Boughton, RWE Director Hydrogen Development, said: \u201cThis <\/p>\n

collaboration with Mitsui and the Port of Tilbury is for an innovative project <\/p>\n

combing production and industrial customer use with potential fuel switching of <\/p>\n

port equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In September 2022, Mitsui E&S Machinery Co., Ltd. (MES-M), part of <\/p>\n

PACECO Group, announced the completion and power generation verification of a <\/p>\n

hydrogen fuel cell power pack (FCPP) for a Rubber-Tyred Gantry crane <\/p>\n

(Transtainer).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More recently, Forth Ports, announced its commitment and the actions it is <\/p>\n

taking to achieve a Net Zero carbon operation by 2042.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The team is overhauling and electrifying equipment and machinery across the <\/p>\n

group\u2019s eight ports, including the Port of Tilbury, switching to low carbon <\/p>\n

fuels, increasing on-site renewable energy generation, and promoting low carbon <\/p>\n

delivery alternatives such as rail and barge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
