CryoVac, based in Vikersund, Norway, has introduced an innovative vacuum insulation system for liquid hydrogen transportation that has received Approval in Principle from DNV. By employing cryogenic hydrogen storage and a unique containment design with CryoPan hexagonal vacuum insulation panels, CryoVac aims to overcome challenges related to maintaining low temperatures and avoiding steel embrittlement. The system, featuring prismatic tanks within an insulated hold, offers efficient insulation with a low boil-off rate without compromising steel integrity. DNV's assessment confirms the feasibility of CryoVac's design, paving the way for the development of a 45,000 cubic meter LH2 carrier for emission-free shipping. CryoVac plans to collaborate further with DNV to reach the General Approval for Ship Application stage, striving to establish a global liquid hydrogen supply chain. CEO Aage Bjørn Andersen highlights the growing interest in safe and cost-effective LH2 shipping solutions, emphasizing the company's commitment to shaping the future of hydrogen transportation.
