Partners work on solution to produce hydrogen from LNG - SAFETY4SEA - Safety4Sea

Wärtsilä has entered into a associated improvement statement with Hycamite TCD Technologies, to alteration cost-effective accumulation of hydrogen from LNG onboard marine vessels.

The conception plan volition beryllium acceptable by mid-2023 and the prototype investigating portion volition beryllium acceptable during the 2nd fractional of 2024.

The conception volition let the existing LNG infrastructure to beryllium utilised and alteration accumulation of hydrogen onboard successful operation with Wärtsilä’s LNGPac Fuel Gas Supply System.

By producing hydrogen onboard and blending it with LNG, the existent scope of substance flexible Wärtsilä dual-fuel (DF) engines tin trim the vessel’s wide c dioxide and methane gaffe emissions. Alternatively, the hydrogen tin besides beryllium utilized successful substance cells onboard.

The by-product from the process is coagulated c that, dissimilar accepted technologies which nutrient carbon-dioxide (CO2) arsenic a by-product, tin much easy beryllium stored and managed onboard.

The c produced consists of high-grade allotropes, similar concern graphite and c nanotubes, thereby offering a imaginable further gross stream.

The quality to nutrient the H2 onboard opens up breathtaking caller opportunities. This solution overcomes the deficiency of an existing hydrogen proviso infrastructure. It besides supports reducing the information risks astir storing and handling of liquid hydrogen and enables a gradual alteration of the vessels’ biology impact

said Mathias Jansson, Director, Fuel Gas Supply Systems, Wärtsilä.

The exertion tin successful rule beryllium applied for each vessels operating with LNG fuel. When utilizing bioLNG, this solution enables adjacent powerfulness procreation connected committee ships with a antagonistic c footprint.
