The partnership focuses on EBDG\u2019s innovative Clean Harbor Alternative Mobile Power (CHAMP) barge, a floating platform designed to reduce ship emissions by up to 93% while vessels are in port.<\/p>\n
\u201cEBDG\u2019s CHAMP barge is a groundbreaking solution for reducing port emissions,\u201d said Michael Complita, vice president of Strategic Expansion at Elliott Bay Design Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team developed CHAMP to deliver multimegawatt clean power wherever it\u2019s needed, without relying on permanent shoreside installations.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CHAMP barges will initially feature methanol-fuelled generator technology, offering power capacities between 6 and 16 MW. As a US Coast Guard-inspected vessel, it eliminates the need for shoreside permitting or infrastructure, offering a streamlined solution for domestic ports.<\/p>\n
\u201cCHAMP offers ports and shipping companies a practical and sustainable solution for emission reduction,\u201d said Ravi Sekhon, director of Engineering & Sustainability at Centerline Logistics.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs ports prioritise emissions reductions, finding ways to manage all sources of negative carbon emissions, both underway and moored, becomes crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two companies plan to reveal the locations and deployments of the CHAMP fleet in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
