Innovative Partnership Explores Emissions Reduction in Maritime Industry
Key Ideas
- Lloyd’s Register collaborates with ROTOBOOST and Amogy to assess fuel cell and pre-combustion CCS technologies for emissions reduction in the maritime sector.
- The study will evaluate hydrogen fuel cells, ammonia and methane cracking technology, and CCS from technical, financial, and regulatory aspects.
- Partners aim to align with EU ETS and IMO CII regulations, comparing emission reduction capabilities and costs against traditional fuels for container feeder fleets.
- The project signifies a crucial step towards sustainable propulsion, aiming to meet new carbon market requirements and international regulations while maximizing savings and benefits.
The Joint Development Project (JDP) between Lloyd’s Register, ROTOBOOST, and Amogy focuses on assessing fuel cell and pre-combustion CCS technologies to reduce emissions in the maritime industry. The study will analyze the readiness of hydrogen fuel cells, ammonia and methane cracking technology, and CCS systems from technical, financial, and regulatory perspectives. The evaluation will specifically target a container feeder fleet and compare the technologies' ability to meet EU ETS and IMO CII requirements while reducing costs. Key technologies under review include Amogy's ammonia-to-power system, ROTOBOOST's Marine Hydrogen production technology, and PowerCell's hydrogen fuel cell. The project aims to validate innovative energy converters and ensure they offer economic and environmental benefits. Partners emphasize the importance of aligning with new carbon market requirements and international regulations to drive decarbonization in shipping. Lloyd’s Register has already issued feasibility statements and approvals for the technologies involved, showcasing progress towards sustainable solutions in the maritime sector.
