Hexagon Purus Secures Order for Hydrogen Fuel System for Greenpeace Vessel in Spain
Key Ideas
  • Hexagon Purus Maritime, a subsidiary, has received a purchase order for a hydrogen fuel system for Greenpeace's new vessel in Spain.
  • The vessel, built by Freire Shipyard, will feature advanced green technologies like hydrogen and e-methanol power systems.
  • The use of green hydrogen is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector, aligned with IMO's net-zero GHG emission goals.
  • The project highlights the importance of innovative power systems like hydrogen to meet the ambitious energy transition needs in the maritime industry.
Hexagon Purus Maritime, a subsidiary of Hexagon Purus, has secured a purchase order for a compressed hydrogen fuel system from Freire Shipyard in Vigo, Spain. The system, valued at approximately EUR 2.5 million, is destined for Greenpeace's new 75-meter vessel that will utilize hydrogen and e-methanol power systems. Scheduled for delivery in 2027, the vessel, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, will rely on wind, solar power, battery packs, and over 2000 square meters of sails and solar panels. This initiative aligns with the IMO's goal of reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. With green hydrogen expected to play a significant role in global energy needs by 2050, Hexagon Purus is well-positioned to support the maritime sector's shift towards sustainable practices. The collaboration between Hexagon Purus, Freire Shipyard, and Greenpeace highlights the importance of integrating innovative technologies like hydrogen to drive a cleaner and more efficient maritime industry.
