S4 Energy’s Post

On January 12, 2024, the Rotterdam alderman Chantal Zeegers paid a working visit to the Rotterdam-based S4 Energy at the United Waalhaven Terminals. S4 Energy has realised that their KINEXT (a flywheel-technology based energy storage system) can be used to operate a harbour crane fully electrically. The diesel generator that operated the crane before has been shut off, which saves fuel and a yearly CO2 emission of 500 tonnes. This solution makes it possible to electrify industrial processes without causing net congestion. As such, this innovation poses a huge potential for making the port of Rotterdam more sustainable! This innovation has partly been realised with the aid of the Smart Energy Systems (SES) program of the Gemeente Rotterdam. Chantal Zeegers: “𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘚4 𝘌𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴. 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

S4 Energy has realised that the 'Kone Gottwald' harbor crane, owned by United Waalhaven Terminals, is now fully powered by electricity. This is made possible by the application of KINEXT, a flywheel-technology driven energy storage system. This is the first time ever that KINEXT has been applied effectively to a harbor crane! The diesel generator that powered the harbor crane before has now been shut off, which saves fuel and a yearly CO2-emission of 500 tonnes. S4Energy is a Rotterdam-based company that builds, owns, and operates energy storage projects and manages the process from end to end, ensuring optimisation of energy at every level. Chantal Zeegers (alderman for Climate, Built Environment and Housing for the City of Rotterdam): “It is great to see that S4Energy has contributed to the electrification of harbor cranes, because in the Port of Rotterdam there lies much potential for the energy transition as a whole.” Want to read more about the energy transition in the Port of Rotterdam?
