Mitsui E&S to Deliver High-Pressure Hydrogen Compressor for Japan's First Offshore Station
Key Ideas
  • Mitsui E&S is providing a high-pressure, high-flow hydrogen compressor to Tsuneishi Corporation for Japan's first offshore hydrogen station.
  • The compressor, optimized for longevity, will enable stable hydrogen compression with minimal downtimes and is physically smaller than existing compressors.
  • The offshore station is part of the Nippon Foundation Zero Emission Ships Project, aiming for carbon neutrality in the shipping industry.
  • Yanmar Power Technology successfully demonstrated a hydrogen engine for coastal vessels, aligning with the decarbonisation efforts in Japan.
Mitsui E&S is set to deliver a high-pressure, high-flow hydrogen compressor to Tsuneishi Corporation for the development of Japan's 'first' offshore hydrogen station, spearheaded by JPN H2YDRO in Fukuyama. The compressor, VD4-250GH-OL, is designed for longevity and efficient compression, despite its smaller size compared to existing models. This compressor will facilitate stable hydrogen compression with minimal downtimes, suitable for various processes in hydrogen transportation and supply. The offshore station is a crucial component of the Nippon Foundation Zero Emission Ships Project, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality in the shipping sector. In line with this initiative, Yanmar Power Technology recently showcased a hydrogen engine for coastal vessels with a 500kW output, contributing to the decarbonisation efforts in Japan. These advancements signify progress towards a more sustainable future in maritime operations.
