Partnership for Green Marine Innovation: LR Collaborates with Amogy and Rotoboost on Fuel Cell and CCS Study
Key Ideas
- LR, Amogy, and Rotoboost are partnering to assess emissions reduction technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and CCS for the maritime sector.
- The study will evaluate the potential of these technologies in cutting emissions and costs, aligning with EU ETS, FuelEU, and IMO regulations.
- Amogy's ammonia-to-power systems and Rotoboost's Marine Hydrogen technology aim to provide clean energy solutions with commercial advantages.
- LR's approval for Rotoboost's pre-combustion CCS and Amogy's Technology Qualification Plan demonstrate progress in sustainable maritime solutions.
Classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR) has initiated a joint development project (JDP) with Amogy and Rotoboost to investigate the potential of hydrogen fuel cells and pre-combustion carbon capture storage systems (CCS) for reducing emissions in the maritime industry. The project aims to assess the technical, financial, and regulatory aspects of hydrogen fuel cells, ammonia, methane cracking, and CCS technologies concerning emissions reduction and cost efficiency for a container feeder fleet. LR, Amogy, and Rotoboost are focusing on aligning these technologies with EU ETS, FuelEU, and IMO regulations.
Amogy's CEO highlighted the benefits of their ammonia-to-power systems in lowering carbon emissions and enhancing compliance with regulations, offering commercial advantages. Similarly, Rotoboost's CEO emphasized the economic viability and environmental sustainability of their Marine Hydrogen technology, which produces solid carbon as a byproduct and facilitates LNG compliance as a fuel option.
LR's previous approval of Rotoboost's pre-combustion CCS and Amogy's completion of the Technology Qualification Plan phases with LR indicate progress towards sustainable maritime solutions. The partnership represents a significant move towards decarbonization in the shipping industry through innovative and eco-friendly energy converters that aim to drive emissions reduction and cost savings while meeting regulatory requirements. The collaboration between LR, Amogy, and Rotoboost demonstrates a commitment to exploring emerging technologies for a greener marine future.
