TECO 2030, BLOM Maritime, and Samskip Collaborate on Zero-Emission Retrofit Project for Vessel Kvitnos
Key Ideas
- TECO 2030, BLOM Maritime, and Samskip receive a grant to retrofit Samskip's vessel Kvitnos with hydrogen fuel technology aiming to significantly reduce emissions along its fixed route from Rotterdam to Hammerfest.
- The project's goal is to prepare for an investment decision to retrofit the vessel and secure long-term hydrogen fuel supply contracts, contributing to the partners' goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Samskip, committed to becoming Net-Zero by 2040, views this project as an opportunity to eliminate emissions from one of its existing vessels and further pave the way for its hydrogen-powered new-builds, aligning with its sustainability objectives.
- TECO 2030, a clean tech company, is focusing on building up Europe's first Giga production facility of hydrogen fuel cell stacks and modules, targeting emission-free solutions for maritime and heavy industries.
TECO 2030, in collaboration with BLOM Maritime and Samskip, has secured a grant to conduct a pre-project aimed at retrofitting Samskip's vessel Kvitnos with TECO 2030 fuel cells and hydrogen fuel technology. The innovative project targets a significant reduction in emissions from the LNG-fueled vessel that currently operates along the Norwegian coastline. By transitioning to zero-emission hydrogen technology, the partners are working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for long-term hydrogen fuel supply contracts.
Blom Maritime will provide expert support for the necessary documentation and approval processes for the fuel cell and hydrogen solution. Samskip, a multimodal logistics company, emphasizes sustainability and aims to achieve Net-Zero status by 2040. This project aligns with Samskip's commitment to reducing emissions and represents an opportunity to eliminate emissions from one of its existing vessels.
Samskip's focus on reducing CO2 emissions includes exploring various solutions such as biofuels, CO2 capture systems, shore power, and now retrofitting existing vessels with green technology. The collaboration aims to drive the vessel with green energy, allowing emission-free navigation in coastal areas.
TECO 2030, known for its clean tech solutions, is establishing a hydrogen fuel cell production facility in Norway with a target of up to 200 MW capacity by 2025. The company's focus on zero-emission technology for maritime and heavy industries aligns with the global shift towards sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact.
