Hydrogen production in a port with a local power supply is an excellent step towards sustainable energy solutions. By leveraging local and renewable energy sources like solar or wind, the production of hydrogen becomes more environmentally friendly and reduces dependency on traditional fossil fuels. This approach not only aligns with the global push for decarbonization but also addresses the specific energy needs of ports, which are critical hubs for trade and transportation. Also, excess heat and oxygen from the hydrogen production can find off-takers among the large variety of customers related to many ports making the overall performance even better.
EUR 9 million EU-funding secured for Norwegian Hydrogen's CONVEY Project at Port of Hirtshals 🚢🌱 Today we celebrate 🎉 that we and our partners have been awarded a EUR 9 million grant by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership for the development of an integrated green hydrogen value chain at the Port of Hirtshals, Denmark. What does this mean? 💡 We're tapping into the power from local wind turbines to produce green hydrogen, thereby initiating a wide range of emission cuts and energy efficiencies for several businesses and operations in the port. The project includes the construction of a 5 MW electrolyzer, a large-scale refueling station for heavy-duty transport, and distribution networks for hydrogen, oxygen, and waste heat to a diverse group of off-takers and partners. Our focus on circularity ensures that every part of the process is optimized for sustainability and efficiency. ♻️ Our CONVEY project is set to transform Hirtshals Port into a model for green ports, showcasing what the future of sustainable energy looks like in action. 🌍 We're deeply thankful for the trust placed in us by the EU's Clean Hydrogen Partnership and Horizon Europe, and we are excited to collaborate with our partners in developing the green port of tomorrow. 🔗 For further details on our exciting project, follow the link below 👇 Clean Hydrogen Partnership European Commission CONVEY Partners: VIREON | Hydrogen Valley | Greenport North Port of Hirtshals - Hirtshals Havn | Onnest biomega® | Hirtshals Transport Center | Next Consult ApS Vendelbo Spedition A/S | VTT | Norwegian Hydrogen #GreenHydrogen #CleanHydrogenPartnership #HorizonEurope #CONVEYProject #GreenPorts #RenewableEnergy
