Port of Newcastle announced that it has joined forces with ten global energy enablers to commit to the Platform Zero Global Partnership for Hydrogen Innovation.
In particular, CEO Craig Carmody and Chief Commercial Officer Simon Byrnes, who are visiting the Netherlands for the World Hydrogen Summit, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under supervision of the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, to accelerate the renewable energy transition with Platform Zero, Port of Rotterdam, the City of Rotterdam as well as key Universities and Innovation Hubs from around the world.
This partnership is another milestone of our diversification strategy. It puts Port of Newcastle at the table alongside like-minded global leaders in the sector, enabling us to work together to develop and scale innovative hydrogen technologies and overcome key bottlenecks to enable the hydrogen and clean energy transition and trade pathways.
…Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody said.
As explained, with further membership expected in the future, the 10 companies to date who have signed the partnership agreement alongside Port of Newcastle are Port of Rotterdam, HunterNet Newcastle, Newcastle Institute for Energy and Reseources (NIER), Erasmus University Rotterdam, Imperial College of London, Complexo do Pecem, Gemeente Rotterdam and Wicked Acceleration Labs.
Although we did not win the category, the fact the world’s largest coal port is sitting alongside such progressive ports as a finalist at the World’s Hydrogen Awards, is a clear indication Port of Newcastle’s diversification journey is heading in the right direction.
