Mitsui to use green hydrogen to cut airport emissions in Portugal
Mitsui, airport operator ANA, energy company Galp, and bus manufacturer CaetanoBus will work on cutting the CO2 emissions of an airport in Portugal through the replacement of traditional combustion-engine buses and airport operation vehicles with green hydrogen, fuel-cell electric powered fleet, Mitsui said on September 13.
The initial study will evaluate the most appropriate location and several aspects of airport operations, including the type and number of vehicles to consider, the hydrogen-production and distribution strategy, alternative equipment providers, the fleet replacement ramp-up, and regulatory requirements, as well as the most viable business model, the Japanese company said.
The four companies will evaluate the results of the assessment and take a decision before year-end on whether to proceed further with the project.
