A set of measures to speed up the transition to fossil-free transport, is about to be put into action at the Port of Gothenburg. The initial step: the first open-access facility in the Nordic region for electric charging and hydrogen gas for heavy goods vehicles, will become operational in 2022…
…The port aims to reduce carbon emissions from transport to and from the port by 70% through to 2030. On the land side, carbon emissions in the Gothenburg area will need to be cut by 23,000 tonnes if this goal is to be achieved.
Analysis of port data from one million truck movements at the port, 1,000 completed questionnaires by drivers, and numerous in-depth interviews with forwarders and hauliers, has produced new knowledge, resulting in a strategy with concrete measures designed to reduce emissions from transport flows more quickly.

…The measures to be introduced will begin with the very first open-access facility in the Nordic region for electric charging and hydrogen gas for heavy goods vehicles. The fuel company Circle K will run the station, which will offer charging points, hydrogen gas pumps, and bio-based liquefied fuels…
…Charging points and hydrogen filling facilities will be developed in stages and will be available in 2022 and 2023/24 respectively. The system will then be expanded with the addition of more locations and increased capacity to keep pace with demand.
The station will be at Vädermotet at the Port of Gothenburg, which is strategically located beside the main roads leading into and out of the port…
