Hydrogen has massive potential as a clean fuel in maritime applications, playing an important role in cleaning up global shipping. But in the maritime realm, real-world hydrogen deployment hinges on solving its inherent storage and handling complexities. It’s an infrastructure dilemma that represents vastly different challenges and opportunities for shipbuilders and ports – remedied by a new approach that leverages hydrogen-on-demand. This is where ports can take the lead as they are poised to embrace hydrogen-on-demand more quickly and cost effectively than shipbuilders. Gain valuable insight into how ports hold the key to hydrogen deployment in RIX’s article in Port Strategy
