- It is fantastic fun to have the opportunity to contribute in this concrete way in the transition to sustainable shipping, says project manager Björn Samuelsson, researcher in quality technology at Uppsala University / Campus Gotland in a statement.
Cooled or pressurized hydrogen
The project will look at the entire supply chain - from electricity production to propellers.
The hydrogen gas is produced by decomposing (splitting) water into hydrogen gas and oxygen.
Hydrogen must then be stored, transported and loaded on board the ferry - either cooled to liquid form (-253 ° C) or in pressurized gaseous form (3-700 bar).
During combustion in the gas and steam turbines on board, water becomes the only and only emission that occurs.
Just over three million in two years
The project is a collaboration between Uppsala University, Rederi AB Gotland / Gotland Tech Development, OX2, Linde Gas, Uniper and Bassoe Technology.
- Through the collaboration with our industrial partners, we add great industry expertise and get good opportunities to see our results realized in the near future, says Björn Samuelsson.
The support granted by the Swedish Energy Agency is two years and amounts to just over SEK 3 million.
