据世界天然气网站2月5日消息 瑞典渡轮公司Stena Line计划不迟于2030年在哥德堡和丹麦弗雷德里克沙文之间的航线上开始运营两艘无化石电池动力船。
这是由Stena Line首席执行官在2月4日哥德堡举行的关于行业合作项目Tranzero计划的新闻发布会上所宣布。
为了加快运输行业向无化石燃料过渡，Stena Line与沃尔沃集团、斯堪尼亚和哥德堡港共同参与了Tranzero倡议合作项目，以大幅减少斯堪的纳维亚最大港口的碳排放。目标是到2030年将哥德堡港的排放量减少70%。
瑞典政府电气化委员会成员、Stena Line集团首席执行官Niclas M?rtensson表示：“我们将使用电池驱动的Stena Elektra船只。一年内，我们将制定规划，最迟到2025年，计划订购第一艘船舶，这将是朝无化石航运迈出的一大步。”
据了解，Stena Elektra将是世界上第一艘此种尺寸的无化石燃料RoPax船，长度约为200米，载客量为1000人，货运能力为3000车道米。
该船将采用高强度钢制造，以减轻重量和提高效率，估计该船将使用电池供电，行驶约50海里，即哥德堡和弗雷德里克沙文之间的距离。电池容量约为60-70 兆瓦时，船舶将在港口充电。
Stena Line还考虑将电气化与燃料电池、氢气和生物甲醇等其他替代无化石燃料相结合，以延长船只的使用范围。
M?rtensson 表示：“航运电气化才刚刚开始。在未来的几条短途海运航线上，电池混合动力和电池动力船舶都有巨大的潜力。”
“但是，这需要的不仅仅是电力船，我们还需要以同样的速度发展港口和码头的基础设施和充电可能性，这就是为什么像这样的合作项目如此重要的原因。”

Stena Line to order 1st fossil-free ship by 2025
Swedish ferry company Stena Line plans to start operating two fossil-free battery-powered vessels on the route between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn in Denmark no later than 2030.
This was announced by Stena Line’s CEO during a press conference about the industry collaboration project Tranzero Initiative, in Gothenburg on 4 February.
In an effort to speed up the transition to fossil-free fuels in the transport sector, Stena Line together with Volvo Group, Scania and the Port of Gothenburg have joined forces in the Tranzero Initiative collaboration project to bring about a significant reduction in carbon emissions linked to the largest port in the Scandinavia. The aim is to cut emissions by 70 per cent by 2030 in the Port of Gothenburg.
“We now move from vision to vessel with the battery powered vessel Stena Elektra. Within a year we will present the outline specifications and at the latest by 2025 we plan to order the first vessel. This will be a huge step towards fossil free shipping,” Niclas M?rtensson, CEO of Stena Line Group and member of the Swedish Government Electrification Commission, commented.
As informed, Stena Elektra will be the world’s first fossil-free RoPax vessel of its size and will measure approximately 200 metres in length and combine a passenger capacity of 1,000 with 3,000 lane metres freight capacity.
The vessel will be built in high tensile steel to lower the weight and increase efficiency and it is estimated the vessel will run on battery power for approximately 50 nautical miles, the distance between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn. The battery capacity will need to be approximately 60-70 MWh and the vessel will be charged in port.
Stena Line also looking into combining the electrification with other alternative fossil-free fuels such as fuel cells, hydrogen and bio methanol for longer reach of the vessels.
”The electrification of shipping has only just began. We see a great potential for both battery hybrids and battery powered vessels on several of our short-sea shipping routes in the future,” M?rtensson continued.
“But, it takes more than the electrical ships, we also need to develop the infrastructure and charging possibilities in the ports and terminals in the same pace and that is a reason why collaborations projects like this are so important.”
