In a bid to support the growing hydrogen industry, C-Job Naval Architects has designed a new type of liquid hydrogen tanker that could enable the transportation of the clean fuel.
Unveiled today (May 3), the tanker co-designed with LH2 Europe, to help develop the supply chain for liquid hydrogen and promote the use of sustainable practices across the globe.The tanker is powered by hydrogen fuel cells and is also equipped with three liquid hydrogen storage tanks with a total capacity of 37,500m3, enough to refuel 400,000 medium-sized hydrogen cars or 20,000 heavy trucks.
As part of this project, LH2 Europe aims harness renewable electricity in Scotland to produce green hydrogen and market it at a competitive price with diesel fuel.
With this, the liquid hydrogen tanker will transport the clean energy carrier to terminals in Germany helping to capitalise on the growing market in the country.
There are also potential plans to expand this network to various other international countries, the companies said.
Dr. Peter Wells, CEO of LH2 Europe, said, “Hydrogen will be essential to the future of energy. It is up to us how quickly we can make that happen. LH2 Europe aims to have a full liquid hydrogen supply chain ready by 2027.
“We plan to initially deliver 100 tons per day (t/d) of green hydrogen and ramp up production to 300 t/d within three years, depending on demand.
“This tanker design is a key step in providing the infrastructure to make that clean energy future a reality. Current vessels in operation are not able to deliver hydrogen at the scale we expect will be required to meet the needs of the market.” H2VIEW - link - George Heynes - link - more like this (H2 fuel) - link - more like this (H2 shipping) - link - more like this (Scotland) - link
