<p>Valenciaport is committed to the fight against climate change and decarbonisation through various actions. Green hydrogen is one of the lines of work being carried out by the PAV, which has been recognised by the Spanish Government as a reference in the framework of the Hydrogen Roadmap. Thus, the APV is one of the institutions, together with the València City Council, the Generalitat Valenciana and the Universitat Politécnica de València, of the ‘Valencia Hydrogen Valley’ strategy to coordinate, create synergies and promote research into green hydrogen in the transport and logistics sector in Valencia and its metropolitan area.</p><p>Port of Valencia’s hydrogen plant, the mobile supply station for this clean energy, will be located on the north quay, at the site known as Bracet de la Gità or Xità. H2PORTS will test three pilots in the Port of Valencia: a reach stacker for loading/unloading and transporting containers, powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which will be developed by Hyster-Yale; a terminal tractor, developed by Atena, which will be powered by a fuel cell provided by Ballard; and the mobile hydrogen refuelling station, developed by CNH2. The three pilots will be tested for 2 years after their arrival at the Port of Valencia, in real conditions.</p><p>The H2PORTS project is the first initiative financed by the European Commission for the development of this clean energy and its deployment in ports. There was a lot of competition from other places but the Valencia project was selected because it was the most complete and innovative.</p><p>Thanks to this initiative, the Port of Valencia will be the first port in Europe to incorporate hydrogen technologies to reduce the environmental impact of its operations. The H2PORTS project will involve a total investment of 4 million euros and involves the APV, the Valenciaport Foundation, the National Hydrogen Centre, and the private companies MSC Terminal Valencia, Grimaldi Group, Hyster-Yale, Atena Distretto Alta Tecnologia Energia Ambiente, Ballard Power Systems Europe and Enagás.</p>
