Located on a 7,000 sqm site in the ZAL Port logistics hub, the new facility will supply hydrogen to trucks, buses and port machinery and will be the first of its kind in the Spanish port sector. The station will produce green hydrogen on-site using electrolyzers powered entirely by renewable energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Port of Barcelona has made a firm commitment to green hydrogen as a future option to make port activity more sustainable,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Alberto Carbonell, president of the Port of Barcelona.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years, we have hosted and participated in pilot projects that have demonstrated its viability and potential to decarbonise land freight transport. In this regard, pilot tests have been conducted on its adoption in both port machinery and trucks, demonstrating that it is a real alternative for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 40-year concession will prioritise production capacity, technical design and commercial strategy, creating a station with a minimum production capacity of 2 MW and a mobile unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, with the installation of the first green hydrogen production and supply plant, the Port of Barcelona is once again leading the shift toward a more sustainable future by providing all its customers with the infrastructure necessary to continue decarbonising logistics,\u201d added Carbonell.<\/p>\n
The port is currently focusing on building a more sustainable cruise industry with more efficient terminals<\/a> and bioLNG bunkering<\/a>.<\/p>\n This latest project may also integrate with solar energy initiatives in the ZAL area, enhancing its sustainability credentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0The Port of Barcelona has approved a public tender to choose the company that will design, build and operate the port\u2019s first hydrogen refuelling station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5771,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,75,34],"tags":[40,36,203],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-cruise-greenport","category-europe-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-green-hydrogen","tag-port-of-barcelona"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5770","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=5770"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5770\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5772,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5770\/revisions\/5772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5770"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
