Hydrogenious LOHC for Zero-Emission Maritime Project Gets DNV Approval

DNV has granted Approval in Principle (AiP) to Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime for their LOHC Release Unit in the HyNjord project. This pilot project aims to create true zero-emission power for ships by utilizing hydrogen released from the Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) power system. The project, supported by Enova SF, Østensjø Rederi, and Equinor, will be demonstrated onboard the Østensjø vessel “Edda Ferd”, making it the first maritime demonstrator of LOHC technology.

CEO Øystein Skår of Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime expressed excitement about the HyNjord Project, highlighting the demonstration of the LOHC power system as a real zero-emission alternative for ship power production. This innovative project aims to bring hydrogen as fuel onboard ships using LOHC technology, with DNV’s Approval in Principle marking a significant milestone for the initiative. The LOHC power system includes a LOHC Release Unit coupled with a PEM fuel cell to provide electrical power for ships’ auxiliary power or propulsion needs.

The Approval in Principle from DNV for the LOHC Release Unit in the HyNjord project signifies a major step forward in utilizing hydrogen technology for maritime applications. This project showcases the potential of LOHC technology in providing clean and efficient power solutions for ships, contributing to the advancement of sustainable maritime practices.
