HTTB - Hydrogen Technology for the Transport Business - synthetic fuels for the overseas port area

On behalf of the Senator for Science and Ports, the Institute for Maritime Logistics and Economics is conducting research on how synthetic fuels can be produced, stored, and utilized at the Bremerhaven port location. Synthetic fuels have the potential to facilitate the rapid decarbonization of port operations. The focus of this investigation lies in the application potential of synthetic diesel fuel. One advantage of this fuel is that it can be used as a drop-in fuel in existing fleets of handling and transportation equipment with only minimal engine modifications required. Furthermore, this fuel allows for the retention of existing operational processes, maintenance cycles, and refueling intervals.

By the end of 2022, the HTTB project will develop a plan for achieving this goal in collaboration with partners within a strong consortium.
