The HYDEA project, led by ITG Technology Center and funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme, is testing how hydrogen can be used to produce clean electricity in real port environments.
As part of the project’s 2nd Call for applicants, the HYDEA partnership selected a technology developed by Coolergy, a European company based in Madrid. The system uses an 80 kW portable fuel cell generator that converts hydrogen into electricity without producing direct emissions.
This portable generator can provide power to port equipment and ships while they are docked. By replacing traditional diesel-powered generators, it helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from port activities.
Testing new technologies in real working conditions is an important step towards making them more widely available. Demonstrations like this help show that hydrogen can be a reliable and sustainable energy source for ports and maritime transport.
