Atlantic area ports to explore the use of green hydrogen-based technologies
In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that a consortium of eleven partners from public and private entities from Spain, France, Ireland, and Portugal has kicked off a project that will carry out pilot tests for the application of hydrogen and methanol as an energy alternative in the fleet and vehicles of the ports of the Atlantic area. The project named HYDEA was launched at the end of November with the first meeting of the consortium in the Port of Vigo, Spain. The project consortium gathers four ports (Port Authority of Vigo, Port Authority of Seville, Brest Brittany Port Company and Administration of the Ports of Douro, Leixões, and Viana do Castelo), a technology center (France Energies Marines), two universities (University of Galway and University of Porto), and three companies (Hive Hydrogen, Automotive Synergy Evolution, and Energy Observer Developments). The project’s main objective is to assess, develop, and promote the use of technologies based on green hydrogen from renewables like marine energy in Atlantic Area ports, according to the report.
