Both entities have been working on hydrogen projects for years, with a common goal to attain decarbonisation.

Through the current alliance, the partners will be involved in joint projects aimed at combatting climate change in sea transport.

The H2Ports project will receive financial support from the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) programme.

As part of the initiative, hydrogen technology will be trialled and validated on port machinery to develop applicable solutions.

Throughout the project, zero local emissions will be generated and the performance and safety of port operations will not be impacted.

Last month, Toyota Tsusho UK, Uniper, Siemens Energy UK&I and Associated British Ports began a feasibility study on hydrogen’s decarbonisation potential at the UK’s Port of Immingham.
