DP World has achieved a significant milestone in decarbonizing its port operations by successfully completing the initial testing of a hydrogen fuel cell rubber-tired gantry (RTG) crane at the Port of Vancouver. RTG cranes, traditionally powered by diesel, are essential for cargo handling but contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The pilot project, launched in October 2023, involves retrofitting a diesel RTG with a Hydrogen-Electric Generator (HEG) and other integrated systems for field testing. By storing compressed gaseous hydrogen in pressurized tanks, the RTG charges a high-voltage battery that powers its electric drive, leading to zero emissions and enhanced operational efficiency. Real-world testing will provide data on performance parameters to compare hydrogen-powered RTGs with traditional diesel-powered ones in terms of productivity, reliability, costs, and environmental benefits. Partnerships with TYCROP, H2 Portable, and HTEC have been instrumental in developing the hydrogen-based technology for this project. The successful collaboration demonstrates the potential for zero-emission power and operational efficiency in the port industry. If the field trial proves successful, DP World plans to convert more RTG cranes to hydrogen power, showcasing a commitment to sustainable practices and zero-emissions objectives. The Port of Vancouver was chosen for the pilot due to its robust hydrogen and fuel cell ecosystem, supported by the Province of British Columbia.
