Oslo-headquartered Pherousa SA has moved a step closer in its plans to build a series of zero-emission hydrogen-fueled 64,000 dwt ultramax bulk carriers.
In a ceremony at last week’s Nor-Shipping event, ABS issued Pherousa an approval in principle (AIP) for its ammonia -to-hydrogen cracking technology, which is key to the vessel’s fully electric propulsion system that features proton exchange membrane fuel cells and a Babcock International fuel gas supply system (FGSS).
“We are seeing rapid innovation and new developments around ammonia as an alternative fuel, whether as a carrier of hydrogen or as a fuel in its own right” said Patrick Ryan, ABS senior vice president and CTO. “Cracking ammonia to produce hydrogen for fuel cells is one that has the potential to accelerate the energy transition to low or no carbon emissions in the maritime industry.
