Port of Helsinki participates in the Fuel Cell Project by TEKES
Fuel cell technologies will provide a zero-emission, noise free and efficient energy source in the future. Fuel cells utilise hydrogen or various gases for fuel.
TEKES, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, has a sizable development project running until 2013, where fuel cell technology is applied to harbour machinery. The Vuosaari Harbour has been selected as a pilot location, where fuel cell technology is applied in an actual production environment. The Port of Helsinki participates in the practical arrangements required by the development work in the Vuosaari Harbour.
