This solution comprises TECO 2030 fuel cell modules, batteries, power electronics, safety and automation systems, hydrogen storage and a refueling solution. The concept forms a scalable multimegawatt solution for electricity production for shore power from hydrogen.

TECO 2030 said the concept allows major benefits in terms of increased safety, reduced operational costs, reduced land area use and increased flexibility while also eliminating harmful emissions.

Also supports ships at anchor

'The floating and mobile solution for shore power in locations with insufficient electrical grid and for ships at anchor will become a game-changer in reducing and eliminating harmful emissions along our coastlines and in ports,' according to Tore Enger, group CEO, TECO 2030. 'Fuel cells can be used for almost any application and infrastructure solutions where power generation is needed.'

In line with EU funding tor transportation infrastructure

The concept is in line with the European Commission’s proposal launched Sept. 14 to make available over Є5b for European transport infrastructure projects. This funding will support projects across all EU member states along the Trans-European Transport Network. a network of rail, inland waterways, ports and roads.

The TECO 2030 fuel cell generator is a complete hydrogen-powered genset that can replace on- and offshore fossil fueled generators for shore power solutions, strengthening of local grids, emergency generators for data centers and more.
