UK classification society Lloyd’s Register has initiated a joint development project with Norway’s Rotoboost and the U.S.-based Amogy to explore opportunities for reducing emissions in the maritime industry. The project aims to assess the potential of hydrogen fuel cells, ammonia, and methane cracking technologies, and carbon capture storage systems from technical, financial, and regulatory perspectives. Three key technologies are under evaluation: Amogy’s ammonia-to-power system, Rotoboost’s Marine Hydrogen production technology, and PowerCell’s Marine System 200 hydrogen fuel cell. The evaluation seeks to understand how these technologies can reduce emissions and costs for a specific container feeder fleet, considering EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme, FuelEU, and IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator requirements. The project is crucial for shipowners looking to comply with new carbon market standards and international regulations. Amogy’s CEO highlighted the benefits of their ammonia-to-power system in reducing emissions and enhancing compliance. Rotoboost’s CEO discussed the economic viability and environmental advantages of their Marine Hydrogen technology. In 2023, Rotoboost received LR’s approval for its Rotobox pre-combustion CCS system, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by generating hydrogen and capturing carbon in solid form. LR also issued a feasibility statement for Amogy’s Technology Qualification Plan, demonstrating progress in advancing green maritime technologies.
