The H2-ZE RTG Transtainer Crane, developed by MITSUI E&S and PACECO with funding from the Japanese New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), has gone into operations at Yusen Terminals.<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing the H2-ZE RTG Transtainer Crane into operation at our terminal is a critical step towards a zero-emissions terminal,\u201d said Alan McCorkle, president & chief executive at Yusen Terminals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis crane will help support the Port of LA\u2019s ambitious sustainability goals, namely the Clean Air Action Plan, in reducing the emissions that affect overburdened communities near the port.\u201d<\/p>\n
High performance<\/strong><\/p>\n The pilot project is scheduled to run over the next four years with the crane in operation initially for 16 hours per day.<\/p>\n It will perform at the same efficiency as a conventional diesel-powered or hybrid RTG crane whilst saving 400 barrels of oil per year and reducing noise pollution.<\/p>\n This project is partially subsidised by NEDO as part of a wider project to demonstrate the hydrogen supply chain, from local production of clean hydrogen to port container handling equipment and drayage trucks powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology.<\/p>\n The hydrogen to power the fuel cell is being delivered by Toyota Tshuso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A hydrogen-powered rubber-tyred gantry crane has begun operations at a Los Angeles\u00a0terminal moving the port a critical step closer to zero-emissions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,33],"tags":[10,1341,410,412,1612],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-americas-greenport","tag-hydrogen","tag-mitsui-es-co-ltd","tag-paceco","tag-port-of-los-angeles","tag-rubber-tyred-gantry-cranes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4329","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=4329"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4331,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4329\/revisions\/4331"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4329"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
