A PROJECT for hydrogen-powered inland and near-shore shipping called the Condor H2 project has been launched by the port of Rotterdam, the Province of Zuid Holland, and over 40 partners, reports London's Port Technology.
The goal is to have 50 emission-free vessels sailing by 2030 and reduce CO2 emissions by 100,000 tonnes per year.
The Condor H2 system will offer fuel cells, battery packs, and hydrogen storage on a pay-per-use basis, requiring minimal up-front investments for ship owners.
Hydrogen will be transported in tanktainers, which can be easily loaded and swapped, providing maximum flexibility for longer journeys.
The project involves six ports and over 40 partners across the value chain, including hydrogen suppliers, distributors, technology providers, and ship owners.
The Port of Rotterdam plans to have the first Condor H2 vessels sailing by 2025.
The project is part of the RH2INE network, which spans Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and is supported by the Port of Duisburg, Port of Amsterdam, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, and other industry partners.
The project is driven by a Steering Group consisting of the Province of Zuid Holland, Port of Rotterdam, WaterstofNet and Rabobank.
