TECO 2030, in partnership with BLOM Maritime and Samskip, has secured a grant to conduct a pre-project that involves outfitting Samskip's vessel Kvitnos with TECO 2030 fuel cells and hydrogen fuel. This initiative aims to significantly reduce emissions from the LNG-powered tanker, which operates on a weekly service from Rotterdam, Netherlands, along Norway's coastline to Hammerfest. By transitioning to zero-emission hydrogen technology, the project aligns with the partners' goal of decreasing GHG emissions and preparing for future investments in eco-friendly propulsion. The collaboration also intends to streamline the process of securing long-term hydrogen fuel supply contracts. Samskip's commitment to achieving zero emissions includes plans for H2-propelled new-builds and a net-zero target by 2040. The project involves working with various experts to prepare the necessary documentation for approval of the fuel cell and hydrogen solution. This grant underscores TECO 2030's ability to assist clients in obtaining public funding for pre-studies, enabling progress towards zero-emission shipping goals. The sentiment towards hydrogen in the article is positive, highlighting its role in retrofitting existing fleets for sustainable operations.
