Ship-aH2oy earns €15m for first-of-its-kind LOHC tech in maritim
Green hydrogen from a megawatt-scale liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) will be used in the Ship-aH2oy project to create and test a zero-emission propulsion system on board ships. The European Climate Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) informed the consortium of 17 partners that they will receive 15 million euros for a project period of 5 years. The goal is to create a powertrain that combines LOHC and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in a way that outperforms conventional internal combustion engines. The planned LOHC/SOFC powertrain will be shown on one of Edda Wind’s Commissioning/Service Operation Vessels (C/SOV), giving the project a true-lab feel.
