Provaris Energy Advances Green Hydrogen Carrier for Sustainable Shipping
Key Ideas
- Provaris Energy's H2Neo carrier demonstrates compliance with the EU's stringent emissions thresholds for hydrogen transportation.
- Collaboration with Wärtsilä results in an efficient hybrid electric propulsion system using LNG and MGO, with plans for integrating hydrogen fuel cells.
- The analysis reveals emissions of 7.6 g CO2e/MJ H2, well below the 28.2 g CO2e/MJ threshold, showcasing commitment to sustainability.
- Both companies aim to pioneer sustainable energy solutions and accelerate the maritime industry towards net-zero emissions shipping.
Provaris Energy Ltd is making significant strides in optimizing its compressed hydrogen supply chain strategy to meet the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) emissions standards. The company's H2Neo hydrogen carrier, used in a round-trip analysis between Norway and Germany, demonstrated compliance with the strict emissions thresholds set by RED II. With RED II mandating that 32% of the EU's energy consumption come from renewable sources by 2030, Provaris's carrier emitted only 7.6 g CO2e/MJ H2, well below the 28.2 g CO2e/MJ threshold. Collaboration with Wärtsilä led to the development of a hybrid electric propulsion system that utilizes LNG and MGO, with plans for integrating a 3,000-kW hydrogen fuel cell, potentially reducing emissions by 20-30%. Both companies are committed to fostering sustainable energy solutions and promoting zero-emission shipping within the maritime industry.
