Our vision: clean, emission-free
Zero Emission Services:
all-in service for emission-free inland shipping
Exchangeable Energy Containers (ZESpacks)
State of the art technology in a standard 20ft container and charged with green electricity. Future-proof: it currently uses lithium-ion batteries, but can be easily converted to other energy carriers like hydrogen.
Charging Infrastructure
Strategic charging points are located throughout the Netherlands where skippers can quickly exchange ZESpacks. Charging stations can also serve as Energy Hubs, which can charge other modalities or provide energy to stabilise the electricity grid.
Pay-per-Use
ZES has developed a simple payment system based on pay-per-use: the customer pays for the renewable electricity consumed and a rental fee for the ZESpack. This keeps the operating costs competitive and simplifies the transition to emission-free shipping.
Mobile Shore Power
No permanent shore power connection available? Our ZESpacks offer the solution. By placing an energy container on the quay, ships can completely shut down their engines without compromising comfort or functionality. Quiet, emission-free, and immediately deployable at any location.
Mobile Charging Plazas
Create powerful charging facilities for heavy vehicles and equipment at temporary locations or events. With ZESpacks as the mobile heart of your charging plaza, you can deliver high power without overloading the local grid connection. Ideal for construction sites, logistics hubs, or large-scale events.
Local Energy Storage
Use the ZESpacks as a buffer for local energy generation, such as solar farms or wind turbines. By storing energy when the sun shines and delivering it during peak demand (peak shaving), we relieve the burden on the electricity grid and optimize the use of green energy on your own premises.
Six ZES benefits
listed
No emissions: ZES saves 1,000 tons of CO2, 7 tons of NOx per ship per year and does not produce particulate matter or noise.
Quickly charged and exchanged: the charging of the battery does not involve charging of the ship. This optimises the logistics for the shipper.
Affordable: pay per use, no uncertain investment for skippers.
Future-proof: In time, other energy carriers, like hydrogen, could be used in the ZESpacks.
Open Access: multiple providers and modalities can use the ZESpacks and charging stations.
Scalable: ZES is an all-in solution and thus eminently scalable.
Powering clean corridors.
ZES provides a total solution for emission-free sailing with an open access infrastructure: interchangeable battery containers charged with renewable power, charging stations, technical support and an innovative pay per use-based payment concept.
