H2TO - Entwicklung einer innovativen wasserstoff-basierten Ofentechnologie zur Herstellung tonkeramischer Werkstoffe
Description
On behalf of the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Economics, Transport, Agriculture and Viticulture, the TSB - Transferstelle Bingen (Bingen technology transferinstitute) is conducting a study on hydrogen as an alternative fuel for inland waterway vessels on the Rhine.
The subject of the study is a feasibility check of local hydrogen production, supply, storage and operation of hydrogen plants in the ports. Only gaseous hydrogen in type 3 and 4 containers is considered for the standardisation of the refuelling process in the Rhine ports. In addition to the current state of the art and the resulting costs, the safety and operation of hydrogen plants in the port area is important, especially with regard to environmental compatibility and fire risk.
The Transferstelle Bingen will provide scientific support to the European "RH2INE" project with the feasibility study "Compendium H2 port infrastructure”.
The Hydrogen Integration Network of Excellence (RH2INE) is an initiative of the Province of Zuid-Holland, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management in the Netherlands, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and NRW.Energy4Climate. The network has been growing steadily since 2019 and consists of public and private stakeholders from the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Germany.
With the Green Deal, the European Union has committed to becoming the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The transport sector is still responsible for almost a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and contributes massively to air pollution in cities. Freight transport in particular causes emissions. By switching to sustainable drive technologies on one of Europe's oldest transport routes, the RH2INE project is making an important con-tribution to achieving the European climate targets.

Project goals
The overall aim of the project "Compendium H2 Port Infrastructure" is to create an emission-free transport corridor in the Rhine-Alpine region, but also to create synergies with neighbouring waterways through the use of hydrogen as an alternative propulsion technology in inland navigation. The creation of technical and logistical foundations for the green corridors of shipping must be placed in the context of the decarbonisation of the global economy.
1. Workshop H2 Port Infrastructure
As part of our H2 Port Infrastructure project, the kick-off event took place in Mainz on 18 March 2024. The aim of the feasibility study is to create a green shipping route on the Rhine. Together with members of ports, shipping companies and other stakeholders from five countries, we had an exciting and successful exchange. Here you can find the workshop programme

2. Workshop H2 Port Infrastructure
The 2nd workshop took place exclusively online on 17 June 2024. Updates in the RH2INE project and an initial interim status of the survey in the H2 port infrastructure project were presented. In addition, experts offered an exciting programme with many innovations. Participants from a total of nine nations took part in the event. Here you can find the workshop programme
