This project, backed by Innovate UK and the UK Department for Transport, provides clean shore power to large tugs operated by Targe Towing. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an exciting green fuel transition initiative for Forth Ports and Targe Towing,\u201d said Stuart Wallace, CEO of Forth Ports.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we move towards net zero by 2042, we\u2019re proud to lead the way in maritime innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Future-proofing<\/strong><\/p>\n Hydrogen specialists Logan Energy and PlusZero have developed an electrolyser system that splits treated water into hydrogen and oxygen.<\/p>\n This hydrogen fuels PlusZero Power\u2019s Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (HICE), generating clean electricity for berthed vessels.<\/p>\n Using specialist water treatment technology provided by Waterwhelm, fresh re-use water is made from effluent from a nearby wastewater treatment works which is then used to produce green hydrogen at The Port of Leith without compromising local water supplies.<\/p>\n Waterwhelm\u2019s leading technology enables water re-use and desalination processes to operate at significantly lower pressure, providing lower maintenance benefits as well as the world\u2019s lowest-ever rate of electricity consumption and carbon emissions for water re-use.<\/p>\n The project aligns with the UK\u2019s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition and the Forth Green Freeport initiative, aiming to grow the hydrogen economy.<\/p>\n By integrating wastewater treatment with hydrogen production, the system ensures sustainable water use, crucial amid climate change challenges,\u201d said Ali Abbassi Monjezi, director at Waterwhelm.<\/p>\n \u201cThis project future-proofs water supply for hydrogen production.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UK\u2019s first green hydrogen shore power demonstrator has been showcased at the Port of Leith, marking a major step in decarbonising maritime port operations with alternative fuels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5099,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,46,8],"tags":[40,1261,36,397,48,11,35],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-forth-ports","tag-green-hydrogen","tag-port-of-leith","tag-shorepower-electrification","tag-tugs","tag-uk"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5098","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=5098"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5100,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5098\/revisions\/5100"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5098"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
