In the presence of state, city, and Port of Long Beach officials, Toyota Motor North America and Fuel Cell Energy “Unprecedented” A Tri-Gen system that produces renewable hydrogen, electricity, and water to support operations at Toyota's largest port facility in North America.
The Tri-gen system uses biogas to produce renewable hydrogen, renewable electricity and usable water to support Toyota Logistics Services' vehicle processing and distribution center in Long Beach, according to the Port of Long Beach. It was built to do so.
The port also said the system will be able to produce up to 1,200 kg/day of hydrogen for fuel cell electric vehicles imported into the terminal, and will support Toyota Logistics Services and large delivery truck operations at an adjacent hydrogen refueling station. He also pointed out that it can be supplied to Inside the port facility.
Mario Cordero Port of Long Beach CEO said: “Thanks to our collaboration with Toyota, FuelCell Energy, and the innovative Tri-gen system, the dawn of the renewable hydrogen era is near. The green electricity generated by the Tri-gen system and similar projects will be It is part of a multi-layered strategy to further our goal of becoming a zero-emissions port.”
tom stricker Toyota's Group Vice President of Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs commented: “Our goal in working with FuelCell Energy was to find a sustainable solution for the TLS vehicle processing facility here at the Port of Long Beach as part of our goal to eliminate carbon emissions from our business operations. The groundbreaking facility shows there is a way to reduce emissions and the strain on natural resources using scalable hydrogen-based technology.”
Jason Few FuelCell Energy CEO and President said: “Tri-gen is committed to ensuring that hydrogen-based energy benefits businesses, provides zero-emission transport for light and heavy goods transport, supports improved air quality in local communities, reduces water usage and It has demonstrated immediate and long-term benefits for the environment. Enabling forward-thinking customers like Toyota to decarbonize their operations and take advantage of the energy solutions that hydrogen provides. As a company, we're fulfilling our purpose while leaving our communities with clean air and reducing the burden on our power grid and water supply.”
FuellCell Energy's Tri-gen system went online in the fall of 2023, producing green hydrogen, renewable electricity, and usable water converted from biogas at a California landfill.
