Australia's Port of Newcastle has become the first port in NSW approved to safely store grid-scale lithium-ion batteries at its Mayfield Multipurpose Terminal.
The purpose of the project - to reduce CO₂ emissions from pilot boats and promote the development of more environmentally friendly shipping services in the Baltic Sea region.
Like many other parts of the economy for which direct electrification of battery use is not economically viable, shipping can use renewable energy stored as hydrogen or a variant of hydrogen.
