The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded a $2.5 million grant to the Port of Oakland to develop and demonstrate fuel cell technological breakthroughs. This initiative, funded under the Biden/Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, forms part of the port's ambitious goal to transition all marine operations to zero emissions. The project, estimated to exceed $7 million, focuses on advancing zero-emissions container handling equipment by introducing two zero-emissions fuel cell electric top loaders. Moreover, the project addresses a significant technical gap by utilizing Hyundai's Class 8 fuel cell electric truck to create a hydrogen wet-hose mobile refuelled for hydrogen vehicles at ports. Port stakeholders like Alameda County Transportation Commission, TraPac, and Hyster-Yale Group will also contribute to local project funds, with Alameda CTC offering up to $2 million. Port of Oakland's Executive Director, Danny Wan, expressed gratitude for being chosen for this hydrogen project, emphasizing the port's dedication to achieving zero emissions. The article also mentions the consistent monthly increase in loaded container volume at the Port of Oakland, indicating positive growth and development in its operations.
