About

Founded in 2020, H2 PORTS is a non-profit headquartered in Valencia, Spain specializing in Hydrogen.

H2PORTS is Europe's largest pilot project for hydrogen-powered port machinery, coordinated by Fundación Valenciaport. The project demonstrates and validates hydrogen fuel cell technologies in real port operations at the Port of Valencia, including a hydrogen-powered container stacker (Reach Stacker) and a hydrogen-powered yard tractor. The initiative includes development of a mobile hydrogen refuelling station designed specifically for port equipment. H2PORTS aims to boost the transition of European port industry towards low-carbon, zero-emission operations while increasing energy efficiency, decarbonisation and safety of port terminals.
