Stena will seek to utilise recycled lithium-ion batteries in port charging stations that act as power banks and can quickly charge electric ferries in the future, while reducing emissions. Quayside energy storage, like shore power, can also be used as an alternative power source for vessels in port.<\/p>\n
The two-year project involves class society DNV GL, the ports of Gothenburg and Kiel and several Stena companies \u2013 Stena Recycling, Batteryloop, Stena Rederi and Stena Line.<\/p>\n
Rasmus Bergstr\u00f6m, managing director of Batteryloop, said: \u201cAn incredible amount is happening in the world of batteries. New solutions are being designed to meet the charging requirements of the transport sector of the future, especially for shipping where vessels are starting to switch to electric power. Rapidly charging a large ferry, for example, requires a huge amount of energy in a short time and it\u2019s not certain that the electricity grid will be able to deliver it. Local energy stores at ports could offer a great solution to this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
This project will be part-financed by INEA, the EU\u2019s Innovation and Networks Executive Agency.<\/p>\n
The reuse of Li-Ion batteries potentially offers an efficient and lower-cost solution to the need to develop energy storage solutions to meet the charging requirements of hybrid-electric vessels.<\/p>\n
The reuse of batteries also offers an opportunity to deliver a cost-effective solution to the challenge of scaling up supply in regions where local electricity grid capacity might not be strong enough to support rapid increases in demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
