SMART HUBS
ELIRE Smart Hubs are cutting-edge floating infrastructure solutions that enable ports, harbours, and cities to achieve their financial, operational and sustainability goals.
Unlike traditional floating infrastructure, commonly known as ‘pontoons and barges,’ Smart Hubs are agile, flexible, scalable and customisable - enabling modernisation of port and urban infrastructure, tailored to meet specific client needs.
As industries work towards 2050 targets, expanding ports and harbours with traditional infrastructure can be costly, time-consuming, and environmentally detrimental. In contrast, Smart Hubs deliver affordable, future-proof solutions that rapidly adapt to new technologies, minimising disruption to operations while enhancing sustainability and decarbonisation efforts
KEY BENEFITS
The plug-and-play solution is uniquely versatile - giving the benefits of 80% standardised design for speed and scalability and 20% customisable features for specific industry requirements.
Engineered with a blend of proven and advanced technologies, Smart Hubs facilitate flexible infrastructure solutions for needs such as clean energy integration, expansion and modernisation of infrastructure. Our solutions meet stringent safety standards, ensuring resilience in a changing global landscape.
KEY FEATURES
ELIRE Power Hubs are a dedicated, clean energy module within ELIRE’s Smart Hub platform purpose-built to support ports and maritime operators in their journey toward zero-emission operations. Integrated seamlessly into the Smart Hub ecosystem, Power Hubs provide scalable, off-grid renewable energy using a blend of hydrogen, solar, and biofuel-powered microturbines.
This floating microgrid infrastructure can deliver up to 5 megawatts of clean power directly to vessels and port operations, reducing reliance on traditional shore power and enabling operations even in energy-constrained or remote environments.
By positioning the energy system offshore, Power Hubs also address regulatory and safety concerns around hydrogen storage and transfer, offering a future-ready solution for clean maritime energy.
