The Port of Oakland is set to undergo a transformation with the help of a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop and demonstrate fuel cell technology. This initiative, part of the Biden/Harris Administration’s infrastructure plan, aims to propel the port towards zero-emissions operations. The total project cost is anticipated to exceed $7 million, with various stakeholders providing additional funding. Port of Oakland Executive Director Danny Wan expressed gratitude for being selected for this hydrogen project, emphasizing the port's commitment to innovative clean energy solutions. The project will focus on commercializing zero-emissions container handling equipment and introducing a hydrogen refueler, with plans to supply fuel to hydrogen vehicles in the port and beyond. Key partners like Alameda CTC, TraPac, and Hyster-Yale Group will play crucial roles in supporting and executing the project. The initiative's objectives include showcasing the use of hydrogen fuel in powering port operations and contributing to the broader decarbonization efforts in the goods movement industry. Through community outreach and collaboration with various organizations, the project aims to communicate the benefits of hydrogen technology and promote sustainable practices in the maritime sector.
