(MAR) H2 CONCEPT TO ELIMINATE PORT EMISSIONS


Hy-Ekotank concept is based on retrofit installation of fuel cells with compressed or liquid hydrogen storage on existing Ektank vessels

Lysaker, Norway, headquartered hydrogen fuel cell developer TECO 2030 (OSE: TECO, OTCQX: TECFF) has partnered with Swedish tanker operator Ektank AB, Shell Shipping and Maritime, and DNV to unveil the Hy-Ekotank concept ship.

The concept would see the retrofit installation of fuel cells with compressed or liquid hydrogen storage on existing Ektank vessels. The solution is aimed at eliminating emissions in port and reducing up to 100% of GHG emissions on voyages.

According to TECO 2030, the ship could become a first mover in its shipping segment, contributing to the achievement of European Union climate ambitions. As part of the European Green Deal, the EU has committed to reducing GHG emissions by 55% by 2030, and a binding target of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. 

Under its “Fit for 55 package,” the EU is currently developing its climate, energy and transport-related legislation to align current laws with the 2030 and 2050 ambitions.
