Mitsui E&S Machinery Co., Ltd. (MES-M) has announced the successful completion and power generation verification of a hydrogen fuel cell power pack (FCPP), developed as a critical power system for the Rubber-Tired-Gantry crane (Transtainer\u00ae). MES-M is performing this development project under a grant from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Fuel Cell integration and performance tests were carried out with Mitsui E&S Power Systems, Inc. The FCPP will be installed on a Transtainer\u00ae crane in MES-M Oita Works for further testing and optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the first application of the integration with Toyota Motor Corporation\u00b4s fuel cell and large high-pressure hydrogen fuel tanks in a non-automotive application worldwide. Development of the Zero-Emission (H2-ZE Transtainer\u00ae crane) shall be realized in 2023. Furthermore, the adaptation of FCPP to other applications is also under consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ichiro Tanaka, President and CEO of MES-M, said: \u201cAs the push for decarbonization intensifies, MES-M is aggressively investing in zero emission technologies to achieve the marine and port industry goal of decarbonization. The FCPP is a major milestone to achieve decarbonization.\u201d MES-M is engaged in solving social issues through its advanced business activities across business units to create a decarbonized society. MES-M is further developing ammonia fuel marine engines and fuel supply equipment at our Tamano Works, an attractive next-generation fuel in the marine transport industry. Furthermore, in order to develop hydrogen fuel marine engine technologies, MES-M is constructing a hydrogen supply facility (liquified hydrogen storage tanks and hydrogen gas compressors) with a target completion date of June 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MES-M will thus be contributing once more, by offering environmentally friendly products, to the advancement of decarbonization of the marine sector, including ships and port equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
