Hydrogen Ambitions For The Port Of Hamburg

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Seatrade Maritime News.

This is the introductory paragraph.

In January Hamburg announced that Vattenfall, Shell, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and municipal heat supplier Warme Hamburg had signed a Letter of Intent to develop a 100MW electrolyser to produce green hydrogen in the port area.

A few points from the article.

• Hamburg believes that ships will be running on green hydrogen.
• Buses and trucks will need the hydrogen.
• They may build a terminal to import green hydrogen, as the Japanese are doing at Kobe.
• The green hydrogen might be produced in places like Africa and Morocco.

100 MW strikes me as a large electrolyser.
