RWE, Mitsui and Port of Tilbury explore green hydrogen options to decarbonise port operations

RWE, Mitsui and the Port of Tilbury have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a hydrogen project at the Port of Tilbury in Essex, supporting the decarbonisation of port operations.

Through the MoU, the organisations will implement two parallel work streams, which are a small scale ‘proof of concept’ demonstrator project to produce green hydrogen for decarbonising items of port equipment and an initial study into a 10 MW green hydrogen plant.

Hydrogen is seen as having a key role to play in helping the UK achieve its 2050 net zero ambitions and is an essential component for decarbonising different industrial sectors.
