Funding to reduce shipping emissions: apply now!
With the newly issued BordstromTech-II guideline for the reduction of shipping emissions in sea and inland waterway ports, the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) is extending supporting measures aimed at the market activation of alternative technologies for environmentally-friendly onboard electricity and mobile shoreside power supply of seagoing and inland waterway vessels.
New study tracks carbon emissions from port handling equipment
A current study on alternative drive systems for port handling equipment has for the first time systematically recorded the stock of port handling equipment by equipment type in seaports and inland ports and also determined the CO2 emissions in the status quo.
Global interest in HHLA’s Clean Port & Logistics cluster
With Clean Port & Logistics (CPL), Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has created an innovation cluster to test hydrogen-powered equipment in port logistics. On Friday, 28 October 2022, partner companies from all over the world attended the virtual kick-off event. The aim of the project is to examine how hydrogen can be used to reliably supply power to harbour technology and port logistics.
Hy-NATuRe – Green hydrogen in Reutlingen and Tübingen districts continues to gain momentum
The districts of Tübingen and Reutlingen are together advancing the issue of green hydrogen with the ‘Hy-NATuRe’ project (Hydrogen – Neckar-Alb-Tuebingen-Reutlingen). Hydrogen stakeholders from the region assembled at the launch event on Tuesday, 27 September 2022 in Motorworld Metzingen.
Hydrogen in intralogistics – industry pioneers meet in Leipzig
The meeting of the industry network, Clean Intralogistics Net (CIN), with over 100 participants from logistics, intralogistics, airports and suppliers in the fields of hydrogen and fuel cells, has demonstrated that the variety of fuel cell system providers is increasing, but that funding continues to be necessary.
BMDV supports ramp-up of climate-friendly road freight transport
In a summary of the first funding call on the guideline for funding commercial vehicles with alternative, climate-protecting drives and the associated refuelling and charging infrastructure (KsNI), the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) is publishing figures on approved vehicles, charging infrastructure and feasibility studies.
AAHa study on port handling technology with alternative drives: Huge potential, but still little available
Where do ports stand on the road to climate-neutral cargo handling? The study entitled: ‘Alternative drives for port handling equipment’ (Alternative Antriebe für Hafenumschlaggeräte (AAHa)), which was carried out by Ramboll and commissioned by NOW, takes stock of port handling equipment with alternative drives and provides an overview of their emissions-saving potential.
