Samskip's Kvitnos Retrofit Project: Paving the Way for Zero-Emission Hydrogen Propulsion
Key Ideas
- TECO 2030, BLOM Maritime, and Samskip receive a grant to retrofit Samskip's vessel Kvitnos with hydrogen fuel cells, aiming to significantly reduce emissions from its current LNG-fueled operations.
- Samskip, a multimodal logistics company, is dedicated to sustainability, aiming to become Net-Zero by 2040. This project aligns with their goal of reducing emissions and embracing zero-emission propulsion.
- Blom Maritime will provide the expertise needed for the retrofit project, focusing on engineering solutions for integrating fuel cell and hydrogen technology onto the vessel.
- TECO 2030, a clean tech company, is at the forefront of developing zero-emission technology for maritime applications, providing PEM hydrogen fuel cell technology for emissions-free propulsion.
TECO 2030, in collaboration with BLOM Maritime and Samskip, has secured a grant for a pre-project to retrofit Samskip's vessel Kvitnos with hydrogen fuel cells. The innovative project targets a significant reduction in emissions from the LNG-fueled vessel, currently operating on a route from Rotterdam, Netherlands, to Hammerfest, Norway. By transitioning to zero-emission hydrogen technology, the partners aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The project's goal is to pave the way for an investment decision to retrofit Kvitnos with hydrogen technology and establish long-term hydrogen fuel supply contracts. Blom Maritime will provide the necessary expertise in engineering solutions for the retrofit project. Samskip, known for its commitment to sustainability, plans to achieve Net-Zero emissions by 2040, with this project playing a crucial role in reaching that target. Samskip's leadership envisions a future with zero-emission propulsion, including upcoming hydrogen-powered new-build vessels. TECO 2030's fuel cell technology is instrumental in enabling emissions-free operations for maritime applications, aligning with the industry's push towards cleaner solutions.
