Hexagon Purus Secures €2.5M Order for Greenpeace Ship Hydrogen Fuel System
Key Ideas
  • Hexagon Purus Maritime secures a €2.5 million order for a compressed hydrogen fuel system for a new Greenpeace sailing ship.
  • The ship, built by Freire Shipyard in Spain, will feature advanced green technologies, including hydrogen and e-methanol power systems.
  • The vessel, scheduled for delivery in 2027, will utilize wind and solar energy along with green hydrogen and e-methanol for its energy needs, supporting Greenpeace's mission to reduce maritime emissions.
  • The adoption of green hydrogen in the maritime sector is crucial for achieving the International Maritime Organization's net-zero GHG emission goal by 2050 and reducing global emissions by up to 25% by 2050.
Norwegian clean energy technology supplier Hexagon Purus Maritime has received a purchase order of €2.5 million for a hydrogen fuel system to be installed on a new sailing ship commissioned by Greenpeace. The order was placed by Spain's Freire Shipyard, which will construct the 75-meter vessel equipped with advanced green technologies, including hydrogen and e-methanol power systems. The ship, designed by Dykstra, will feature over 2,000 square meters of sails for energy regeneration, battery packs, and solar panels, harnessing wind and solar power. It will also utilize green hydrogen and e-methanol to meet its remaining energy needs. The delivery of the hydrogen fuel system is planned for 2027. Hexagon Purus Maritime has been actively involved in other projects promoting zero-emission solutions, such as supplying hydrogen fuel storage systems for various vessels. The company's commitment to pioneering zero-emission technologies aligns with Greenpeace's mission to showcase innovative emission reduction solutions in the maritime industry. The partnership signifies a step towards a sustainable future for maritime operations. The International Maritime Organization's revised strategy aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with interim milestones for emission reductions in the upcoming decades. The availability of green hydrogen in the maritime sector is deemed crucial for achieving these goals and significantly reducing global emissions by 2050. Hexagon Purus Maritime's involvement in advancing hydrogen technologies reflects the industry's shift towards more sustainable practices.
