CMB to set up hydrogen fuelling station

Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB) has moved to set up a hydrogen fuelling station at Stockholm Norvik Port.

The hydrogen fuelling station next to the port would allow customers the option to convert to hydrogen. In the initial phase, port vehicles will be converted to run on green hydrogen, with the first hydrogen-fuelled terminal truck expected to be in operation in 2023.

CMB’s clean technology division, CMB.Tech, and Ports of Stockholm will jointly invest in port operations and service offerings to shipping companies and haulage firms.

CMB.Tech rolled out a 100% hydrogen engine in partnership with Belgian engineering firm Anglo Belgian Corporation (ABC). The engines, which deliver 100% clean energy for ships and other marine applications, will be built by the CMB-ABC joint venture company, BeHydro.
