Paceco Group develops hydrogen fuel cell power pack for RTG cranes

The successful completion and power generation verification of a hydrogen fuel cell power pack (FCPP) by Mitsui E&S Machinery Co. Ltd (MES-M) has brought the Paceco Group closer to its goal of zero emission technologies.

The fuel cell has been developed as a critical power system for rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes and it will be installed on a Transtainer crane in MES-M Oita Works, Japan, for further testing and optimisation.

Ichiro Tanaka, president and CEO of MES-M said: “As the push for decarbonisation intensifies, MES-M is aggressively investing in zero emission technologies to achieve the marine and port industry goal of decarbonisation.”
