The Port of Rotterdam Authority and the Hague Airport (RTHA) have agreed to develop supply chains for greener fuels such as hydrogen and others.<\/p>\n
Making aviation sustainable hinges around three key areas \u2013 sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), electric flights, and green hydrogen.<\/p>\n
RTHA said it will explore all three directions, for example by using batteries for short distances such as training flights and going beyond the European obligation currently around the blending of SAF.<\/p>\n
To ensure hydrogen is a viable option, RTHA said it is also working on identifying the necessary infrastructure which it will share with other airports across the continent.<\/p>\n
Port of Rotterdam<\/strong><\/p>\n Both kerosene-based SAF and hydrogen are produced and imported at the Port of Rotterdam, with the first plants already under construction.<\/p>\n Future demand will also include SAF based on CO2, called eFuels, which needs hydrogen as a source. Small-scale liquid hydrogen storage is under development and several hydrogen-related projects have been scheduled.<\/p>\n The port said that the collaboration will make it possible to create new small chains for these alternatives before rolling them out on a large scale. It will act as a blueprint for supply chains as well as other, larger, airports such as Schiphol in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n As part of the partnership, the two have begun a study into the volume expectations towards 2050 and scheduled the first pilot cases. These will take place at the airport as part of the DutcH\u2082 Aviation Hub hydrogen programme.<\/p>\n The partners are also looking for partners to validate these expectations and further develop the supply chains. Parties who can contribute to this are invited to contact RTHA and\/or the Port of Rotterdam Authority.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rotterdam\u2019s air and sea ports are teaming up to help make operations more sustainable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4327,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,34],"tags":[40,1610,10,152,1611],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-aviation-fuel","tag-hydrogen","tag-port-of-rotterdam","tag-saf"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4326"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4328,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4326\/revisions\/4328"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4326"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
