Methanol-to-hydrogen technology presents a viable and scalable alternative to the challenges ports face in adopting grid-based shorepower solutions

Traditional shorepower – often seen as the key to decarbonising ports – faces significant hurdles, including infrastructure limitations, high costs and reliance on electricity grids that are often already stretched thin.

Unlike shorepower, which requires costly upgrades and faces grid limitations, methanol-to-hydrogen technology can generate fuel-cell-grade hydrogen on-demand by reforming methanol with water, eliminating the need for high-capacity shore power connections.
