BioH2Energy – GHG Reduction in Maritime Operations with Circular Bio-derived Fuels and Hydrogen Technologies

Beneficiary Port and Country: Port Louis, Mauritius

Primary beneficiary organisation: Mauritius Ports Authority (MPA)

The GMN II Project is installing a BioH2Energysolution for GHG reduction in maritime operations at the port of Port Louis with Circular Bio-derived Fuels and Hydrogen Technologies (BioH2Energy). Integrating BioH2Energy technology at Port Louis, Mauritius, the technology demonstration will convert organic waste into energy.  Under this project a 2.4 MW system converting two tonnes of organic waste to supply 100 kWh will be built at port of Port Louis. On successful completion the project will decrease the current electricity grid consumption from thermal sources (807 gCO2e/KWh) at the Port of Port Louis to a more sustainable option of -0.045 gCO2e/KWh. Additionally, it will reduce 482 t CO2e/year by using organic waste as fuel for the BioH2Energy system instead of landfilling it.
