As a component of the European task H2PORTS, led by Fundaci ón Valenciaport as well as in which the Port Authority of Valencia additionally gets involved, the Centro Nacional del Hidr ógeno (CNH2) is establishing a Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HUMANS RESOURCES) that will certainly ensure the supply of this gas, in appropriate problems, throughout the synchronised procedure of the various other 2 pilots that will certainly be checked throughout the task: a Reach Stacker, at MSC Terminal Valencia, as well as an incurable tractor 4 × 4 at Valencia Terminal Europa, component of Grimaldi Group, both powered by gas cells.
Since each of these pilots will certainly occur in various terminals inside the port of Valencia as well as thinking about that the devices can not distribute outside the terminals location, the HUMANS RESOURCES created will certainly be a versatile as well as mobile remedy.
In regards to technological qualities, the HUMANS RESOURCES system will certainly consist of a set component, which will certainly be committed to getting as well as keeping hydrogen from an outside vendor as well as pressing it to shipment stress, as well as a mobile component, which will certainly keep pressed hydrogen which will certainly consist of a hydrogen dispenser for the refuelling of port equipment.

The HUMANS RESOURCES will certainly consist of 3 major subsystems: a low-pressure hydrogen storage tank on which the hydrogen vendor will certainly release the particle, a two-stage water-cooled piston hydrogen compressor with warmth exchangers incorporated right into the system, as well as a mobile high-pressure storage space as well as hydrogen supply system, that consists of 2 phases of hydrogen storage space at 300 as well as 450 bar as well as a hefty car dispenser at 350 bar.
The accessibility of a supply facilities in the port of Valencia will certainly develop the best atmosphere for the screening of feasible future uses hydrogen gas cells in the maritime port field, which is meant to be manipulated not just throughout the test duration yet additionally after the conclusion of the task.
H2PORTS
The European task “H2Ports – Implementing Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technologies in Ports” collaborated by Fundaci ón Valenciaport, in close partnership with the Port Authority of Valencia, as well as funded by the Fuel Cell as well as Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) program, has as major goal to examination as well as confirm hydrogen innovations on port equipment that permit to have appropriate as well as actual services without impacting the efficiency as well as safety and security of port procedures as well as creating absolutely no regional discharges.
The H2Ports task will certainly involve a complete financial investment of 4 million euros as well as entails, along with Fundaci ón Valenciaport as well as the Port Authority of Valencia, the Centro Nacional del Hidr ógeno, as well as the personal business MSC Terminal Valencia, Grupo Grimaldi, Hyster-Yale, Atena Distretto Alta Tecnologia Energia Ambiente, Ballard Power Systems Europe as well as Enag ás.
Thanks to this effort, the Port of Valencia will certainly be the initial port in Europe to include hydrogen innovations to lower the ecological effect of its procedures.
Hydrogen:
Hydrogen is a different gas that can change those of fossil beginning, such as fuel or diesel. Hydrogen can be acquired from eco-friendly power as well as exists as an essential choice in the tool to long-term to accomplish a lasting as well as carbon-free economic situation. While making use of nonrenewable fuel sources entails the exhaust of co2, which adds to environment modification, as well as of a variety of toxin discharges with wonderful influence on public health and wellness (NOx or bits), making use of hydrogen in mix with gas cells creates just water vapour as well as has no influence on the atmosphere.
Fuel Cells as well as Hydrogen Joint task (FCH JU):
This public-private collaboration is the European body advertising the fostering of hydrogen as a low-emission choice as well as is sustained with the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research as well as Innovation programs, Hydrogen Europe Research as well as Hydrogen Europe.
