Colombo Port's Vision
"To be the premier green maritime and logistics hub in South Asia and ranked among the top 15 busiest container ports in the world."
LESI provides the key to unlock this vision.
The Current Environmental Challenge
The port's diesel fleet creates a significant carbon footprint, directly opposing its green ambitions.
Annual CO₂ Emissions from Fleet
4,695
Metric Tons
This is equivalent to the annual emissions of over 1,000 passenger cars.
Annual Diesel Consumption
The fleet's reliance on diesel is absolute. This chart represents the 1,752,000 liters of diesel consumed annually, all contributing to emissions.
The Solution: Green Hydrogen by LESI
A vertically integrated, high-purity, and reliable local supply.
Fuel cell grade hydrogen for optimal performance and vehicle longevity.
Our facility's location near the port ensures an efficient, low-cost supply chain.
Produced with renewables for a zero-emission cycle, from production to use.
Why HFCV is the Right Choice for Heavy Transport
For demanding port operations, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (HFCV) offer clear operational advantages over Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).
This comparison highlights key metrics where HFCVs excel, ensuring port operations remain efficient and uninterrupted.
A Trifecta of Benefits
Adopting green hydrogen delivers comprehensive value.
Environmental Leadership
Eliminate ~4,700 tons of CO₂ annually, improve local air quality, and align with global climate mandates to solidify the port's green reputation.
Operational Excellence
Achieve fast refueling times comparable to diesel, ensuring maximum vehicle uptime. Secure a reliable, locally-produced fuel source, independent of volatile global markets.
Strategic & Brand Advantage
Gain a powerful competitive edge, attract eco-conscious shipping lines, and enhance the port's brand as a global leader in sustainable logistics.
The Path to a Green Fleet: A Phased Roadmap
A structured, pragmatic approach to ensure a seamless transition.
Phase 1 (6-12 Months)
Pilot Project & Feasibility
Conduct joint feasibility study, design initial fueling infrastructure, and secure ADB funding.
Phase 2 (12-24 Months)
Initial Deployment
Construct fueling station, introduce the first batch of HFCV trucks, and monitor performance.
Phase 3 (Long-Term)
Full Scale Expansion
Systematically convert the entire fleet, expand infrastructure, and explore H₂ for other port equipment.
A Partnership for Progress
Our collaboration is strengthened by significant financial opportunities.
Asian Development Bank (ADB) Funding
LESI's discussions with the ADB indicate a strong possibility of securing grants or concessionary financing schemes to dramatically reduce the initial investment for Colombo Port.
