Abstract

The maritime industry faces increasing demand for energy security, operational efficiency, and environmental performance improvements. Hydrogen technology, considered a potential energy carrier, is being explored for port operations, including cargo-handling equipment, heavy-duty vehicles, and stationary power systems. This review evaluates the feasibility, challenges, and potential benefits of hydrogen integration within port infrastructure, using the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a representative case study. Drawing on case studies, technical reports, and policy analyses, this study examines the infrastructural, regulatory, and operational factors influencing large-scale deployment, emphasizing supply chain development, storage requirements, and refueling infrastructure. By situating hydrogen within broader maritime energy transition efforts, this review provides an evidence-based assessment of its role in port operations and energy diversification strategies. The findings outline key barriers to adoption and emphasize the need for coordinated efforts among stakeholders to determine hydrogen's role alongside other emerging energy technologies.

海上应用氢技术：回顾纽约和新泽西港务局的挑战、机遇和经验教训

海运业面临着对能源安全、运营效率和环境绩效改善日益增长的需求。氢技术被认为是一种潜在的能源载体，目前正在探索用于港口作业，包括货物装卸设备、重型车辆和固定电力系统。本文以纽约和新泽西港务局为代表性案例，评估了港口基础设施中氢气整合的可行性、挑战和潜在效益。通过案例研究、技术报告和政策分析，本研究考察了影响大规模部署的基础设施、监管和运营因素，强调了供应链发展、存储需求和加油基础设施。通过将氢能置于更广泛的海上能源转型工作中，本综述对其在港口运营和能源多样化战略中的作用进行了基于证据的评估。研究结果概述了采用氢能的主要障碍，并强调利益相关者之间需要协调努力，以确定氢能与其他新兴能源技术一起发挥的作用。

期刊介绍： The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
