Ports of Stockholm and CMB.TECH are joining forces in a unique hydrogen collaboration at Stockholm Norvik Port.
The investment in hydrogen will encompass port operations and expand service offerings to shipping companies and haulage firms, as well as other stakeholders.
”This is the first port in Sweden we have worked with, and we hope to be able to contribute with our knowledge and experience in converting from diesel to hydrogen. This provides entirely new possibilities to further develop Stockholm Norvik Port as the climate-smart port it already is,” said Alexander Saverys, CEO of CMB.TECH.
This investment will include the build a hydrogen fuelling station adjacent to the port. In the initial phase, port vehicles will be converted to run on green hydrogen.
The first hydrogen-fuelled terminal truck is planned to be in operation at Stockholm Norvik Port in 2023.
“Hydrogen will play a crucial role in converting to fossil fuel-free transport, both on land and at sea. We are therefore extremely pleased to announce this partnership with CMB.TECH and this drive for hydrogen. This is entirely aligned with the ambitious environmental goals of Ports of Stockholm for operations to be fossil fuel-free by 2030,” said Anna König Jerlmyr, Mayor of Stockholm.
The port’s hydrogen ambition is one stage in the development to use more climate-smart fuels for overland transport and shipping.
Ports of Stockholm is already working actively, long-term and strategically to achieve sustainable port operations and shipping and has set itself high environmental targets. It is certified toISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards and alsoreports sustainability according to Core level GRI Standards.
