DP World has completed the initial testing of a hydrogen fuel cell rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) crane at the Port of Vancouver. The company aims to assess the feasibility of electrifying its global fleet of 1,500 RTG cranes, traditionally powered by diesel, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the Vancouver terminal, where 19 RTG cranes account for a significant portion of diesel consumption and CO2 emissions, the adoption of hydrogen technology promises to have a considerable environmental impact. The pilot project, launched in October 2023, involves retrofitting a diesel RTG crane with an integrated solution that includes a Hydrogen-Electric Generator (HEG), battery energy storage system, hydrogen storage module, and more. The RTG is now in the second phase of a one-year field trial to compare its performance with traditional diesel-powered RTGs in terms of productivity, reliability, and environmental benefits. DP World has partnered with companies like TYCROP Manufacturing Ltd., H2 Portable, and HTEC for this project, aiming to achieve zero-emission power. The Hydrogen-Electric Generator and other systems aim to power the crane's electric drive efficiently while reducing energy demand and enhancing operational efficiency. The successful field trial could lead to the conversion of more diesel-powered RTG cranes in Vancouver and Prince Rupert to meet zero-emissions objectives. Additionally, DP World plans to trial an electric terminal tractor and acquire a fleet of electric vehicles. The collaborative effort between industry and government in driving innovation in the green technology sector is evident in DP World's sustainable practices and commitment to decarbonizing its operations.
