ThePort of Tallinn and the Port of Gdynia Authority SA have signed an agreement with the aim to implementprojects related to the production, storage and distribution of green hydrogen and the use of zero-emission fuels.
Both ports also want to exchange information on innovative development projects related to the use of zero-emission fuels for seaports and the wider maritime economy.
Green commitment
The ports expect thatworking together in a future fuels energy partnership will be mutually beneficial.
The Port of Tallinn has a hydrogen strategy with plans to implement projects related to production and distribution of green hydrogen for use in the wider maritime industry, but it also wants to create new value chains and economic opportunities and in doing so reach carbon neutrality.
Gdynia meanwhile wants to establish a hydrogen hub in the Port of Gdynia, which will serve the purpose of decarbonisation of its port terminals, in particular, using hydrogen to power the equipment and devices, production and storage of green hydrogen and the use of hydrogen and other zero-emission fuels (ammonia, methanol) to propel vessels calling at the Port of Gdynia.
Both the Port of Tallinn and the Port of Gdynia aim at joint implementation of projects in the field of production, distribution and storage of green hydrogen and want to create added value in logistic supply chains of goods and services.
The ports said they are focusing on the development of a hydrogen and zero carbon economy, which includes the uptake of ammonia and methanol as dedicated fuels for the maritime industry.
The Motorship has previously analysed the impact that EU-wide efforts to increase energy self-sufficiency will have on energy infrastructure investment between 2022 and the end of the decade.
