Hexagon Purus Maritime receives purchase order for hydrogen fuel
storage system from Hvide Sande Shipyard in Denmark
Hexagon Purus Maritime, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon
Purus, has received a purchase order for a hydrogen fuel storage
system from Hvide Sande Shipyard, a Danish shipyard building and
servicing a wide range of vessel types.
Hexagon Purus Maritime’s hydrogen fuel storage system
incorporating type 4 hydrogen cylinders will be used as fuel
storage onboard the training ship SKULEBAS. The training ship is
owned by Vestland County in Norway and operated by Maaløy Upper
Secondary School to educate future mariners in Norway.
Driving Energy Transformation
"Hvide Sande Shipyard is proud of being part of Vestland
County’s hydrogen project. This project fits perfectly with our
vision of being a leading provider of zero-emission technology and
our previous experience from both battery and methanol technology,
says Mike Bylov Torsland, Senior Project Manager in Hvide Sande
Shipyard. “We look forward to cooperating with Hexagon Purus on
this ambitious hydrogen project”.
“Hexagon Purus is at the forefront of developing innovative
hydrogen storage solutions for the maritime industry. We are
thrilled to deliver our zero-emission onboard storage technology to
educate the future officers and sailors of the Norwegian maritime
industry”, says Robert Haugen, Managing Director of Hexagon Purus
Maritime. “We continue to see strong interest in our hydrogen
storage technology as the maritime sector accelerates its
decarbonization efforts. This order further validates our strong
market position as an early-mover in zero-emission technology for
the maritime industry”.
About the market
In 2023, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a
revised strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
international shipping. The revised strategy includes a common
ambition to (i) reach net-zero GHG emission by or around 2050 and
(ii) indicative milestones that call for reducing total GHG
emissions of up to 30% by 2030 and 80% by 2040 measured from GHG
emission levels in 2008.
Making green hydrogen available for use in the maritime industry
is critical to reduce GHG emissions. As hydrogen, a key
contributor to the energy transition, continues to build momentum
globally, more than 30 countries have released hydrogen
roadmaps. USD 320 billion in direct investments into hydrogen
projects have been announced through 2030 and more than 1,000
hydrogen projects have been announced globally to date. Green
hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy
needs by 2050.
Timing
Delivery of the hydrogen fuel storage system is scheduled for Q2
2024.
