Antwerp Terminal Services (ATS) and cleantech company CMB.TECH have launched the world's first hydrogen dual-fuel straddle carrier in the Port of Antwerp, marking another move to upgrade port equipment running on alternative fuels. The dual-fuel combustion engine, developed by CMB.TECH, runs on a mix of hydrogen and die-sel. "The dual-fuel technology is able to replace 70% of diesel consumption with hydrogen on new straddle carriers, with the eventual goal of 100% hydrogen injection," CBM.TECH stated. Francis De Ruytter, PSA International Pte. Ltd.'s regional head of sustainability for PSA Europe, Mediterranean, and the Americas, emphasized the importance of targeting straddle carriers to reach PSA's sustainability goals. "Straddle carriers are crucial in maintaining highly productive operations at our terminals, but at the same time they are responsible for approximately 90% of our direct emissions in Belgium." |
