TECO aims to produce 4,000 units per year by 2030 at its Narvik giga factory in Norway, potentially reducing CO2 emissions equivalent to those of countries like Sweden or Portugal and cities like Berlin or Toronto, reports TECO.
Eco-Friendly Alternative
The company’s fuel cell technology offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional diesel machinery, helping address environmental concerns, ease pressure on port and city grid capacity, and reduce critical material use
Advanced Engines And Power Generators
Tore Enger, TECO’s CEO, highlights that using their FCM400 unit over a diesel generator can save over 9,000 tons of CO2 emissions or 3.5 million liters of diesel during 35,000 hours of operation
“A fuel cell is the next generation of engines and power generators, where hydrogen is the fuel,” says Tore Enger, Group CEO, TECO 2030.
Following heavy investments in marine and heavy-duty fuel cell development since their IPO in October 2020, TECO now leads in fuel cell systems. Their FCM400 has undergone successful testing with hydrogen, showcasing promising technology performance.
Further Testing
The plan includes further testing before deploying the first system in the first half of 2024. Initial production will occur at AVL in Austria, with later production moving to Narvik, Norway. Narvik is already underway with manual fuel cell stack production.
The FCM400 boasts industry-leading energy efficiency, safety, weight/size dimensions, component design, lifetime, and dynamic load response. Enger expresses enthusiasm, seeing this milestone as a significant step towards a sustainable future, emphasizing the company’s commitment to cleaner energy generation.
