Iniciadas por la Autoridad Portuaria de Rotterdam y AirLiquide, varias empresas europeas han unido sus fuerzas para crear un corredor de hidr\u00f3geno para camiones de pila de combustible en los Pa\u00edses Bajos, B\u00e9lgica y Alemania. Su objetivo son 1.000 camiones para 2025.<\/p>\n
AirLiquide y el puerto de Rotterdam consideran que se trata de \"uno de los mayores proyectos de Europa para el desarrollo de camiones de hidr\u00f3geno y de la infraestructura relacionada\". En su comunicado, ya nombran a \"varios socios de la cadena de suministro\" que se han unido a la iniciativa. Entre ellos se encuentran el grupo holand\u00e9s VDL, as\u00ed como Iveco y la start-up estadounidense Nikola para el suministro de los camiones de pila de combustible. Tambi\u00e9n participan empresas de log\u00edstica como Vos Logistics, Jongeneel Transport y HN Post. Adem\u00e1s, \"los principales proveedores de pilas de combustible ya han acordado unirse\", dijeron los iniciadores, pero no especificaron a estos \u00faltimos individualmente.<\/p>\n
Para empezar, los socios realizar\u00e1n un estudio de viabilidad de toda la cadena de valor prevista por el proyecto. Esto incluye la creaci\u00f3n de una capacidad de electr\u00f3lisis para producir hidr\u00f3geno bajo en carbono. La autoridad portuaria sugiere adem\u00e1s que para tener 1.000 camiones propulsados por hidr\u00f3geno en la carretera, necesitar\u00e1n 25 estaciones de hidr\u00f3geno de alta capacidad para conectar los Pa\u00edses Bajos, B\u00e9lgica y Alemania Occidental. El puerto de Rotterdam espera que unos 500 camiones partan de la ciudad portuaria y distribuyan all\u00ed las mercanc\u00edas entregadas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In this way, the port wants to secure its future business model by ensuring that transport meets the EU’s and companies’ sustainability criteria before others establish clean distribution routes. “With this coalition of partners that complement one another, we can give zero-emission road transport a boost,” says Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam, for example.<\/p>\n
But the expansion of the corridors has not yet been decided. According to the Port of Rotterdam and Air Liquide, they invite other companies to join the initiative in the coming months. The investment decision will be made at the end of 2022 at the earliest.<\/p>\n
However, it is not the first project Rotterdam and AirLiquide are involved in. Together with political players, they are working the RH\u2082INE project<\/a> that stands for ‘Rhine Hydrogen Integration Network of Excellence’. It involves seventeen partners along the so-called Rhine-Alps corridor stretching from Rotterdam to Genoa which they want to turn into a purely hydrogen-based transport route \u2013 by water, road and rail.<\/p>\n Besides, the European continent has seen other projects involving fuel cell trucks coming underway: Earlier this week, Hyundai delivered<\/a> the first ten fuel cell trucks to Switzerland. By 2025, this figure is expected to rise to 1,600 vehicles. Various partners along the value chain are also involved in the project there.<\/p>\n Also this week the EU Commission had presented its first hydrogen strategy<\/a>. Brussels primarily wants to electrify traffic with batteries directly. Still, in sectors “where electrification is difficult”, the strategy promotes “renewable hydrogen as well as sustainable biofuels and biogas”.<\/p>\n
