Hitachi Energy's HyFlex Generator Revolutionizing Construction Site Power Generation
Key Ideas
  • Hitachi Energy's HyFlex generator, utilizing green hydrogen, is reducing carbon emissions in construction sites by replacing diesel generators.
  • Collaboration with Skanska in Sweden's Port of Gothenburg showcases the effectiveness of the HyFlex generator in decarbonizing heavy industry.
  • The emission-free operation of HyFlex, mitigating significant amounts of CO2 annually, makes it a promising solution for sustainable power generation.
  • Hitachi Energy's plans to develop modular variants of the HyFlex generator for various markets indicate a growing focus on clean energy solutions.
Hitachi Energy's HyFlex generator is making waves in the construction industry by revolutionizing power generation on sites that lack access to the grid. By using green hydrogen supplied by Linde Gas, the HyFlex unit is helping reduce carbon emissions by replacing traditional diesel generators. In a collaboration with Skanska at the Port of Gothenburg in Sweden, the HyFlex generator powered a Volvo electric excavator for civil work, demonstrating its potential in decarbonizing heavy industry. This clean alternative to diesel generators operates emission-free, producing electricity, heat, and water through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in fuel cells. The HyFlex generator can mitigate significant amounts of CO2 emissions annually, making it a promising solution for sustainable power generation. Hitachi Energy's strategic partnership with PowerCell Group ensures the scalability and efficiency of the HyFlex generator, which can be easily transported and deployed in various markets and applications. This milestone project at the Port of Gothenburg sets the stage for future HyFlex deployments, solidifying Hitachi Energy's position as a leader in developing sustainable technologies.
