FIELD tests to have been conducted on the utility of a containerized hydrogen fuel cell battery to produce emission-free power to a wide range of industries, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
Project partners include the Port of Gothenburg, Skanska, PowerCell Group, Hitachi Energy, Linde Gas, Volvo Group and Skagerak Energy. Each has conducted tests to demonstrate the latest innovation in hydrogen-electric power infrastructure to create a containerized 'Hyflex solution'.
The product is a flexible container solution that can be used in a wide range of applications for emission-free power production.
Hyflex uses a 100kW hydrogen fuel cell from PowerCell in combination with batteries to generate power independently of the grid without emitting greenhouse gases when using green hydrogen.
From March 4 - 17 in the Port of Gothenburg, the project partners demonstrated that the solution is ready to replace fossil fuel solutions today in real life operations, say the partners
The trial was focused on off grid power generation for construction sites and vehicles, but the technology also has potential port applications, specifically with marine shore power connections - cold ironing - in mind.
'The Hyflex has the potential to replace diesel generator sets across multiple platforms, as well as taking on new power generation applications.
The current demonstrator has been developed with construction sites in mind, however we also recognize the need for marine and port electrification applications, such as sustainable ship-to-shore power,' said Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Group.
From a marine perspective, the demonstrator project is well-timed with the European Union's latest regulations. Under FuelEU Maritime, it will be obligatory for passenger and containerships to use shore power supplies for all electricity needs while moored in major EU ports as of 2030.
