Gen2 Energy commissions hydrogen carrier design
Ships could carry compressed green hydrogen from firm’s production site in north Norway
Green hydrogen project developer Gen2 Energy has signed a deal with ship designer Sirius Design and Integration to design two ships to transport compressed hydrogen. The two ships will be able to carry around 500 containers each, with each container the size of a standard shipping container and specially designed to carry a compressed form of the fuel. Once the ships are designed, Gen2 Energy will decide whether to commission construction. Gen2 Energy is developing several green hydrogen projects in Norway based on using the country’s excess supply of hydroelectric power. The company says it has a total project pipeline of c.700MW that will start production in 2024-26. Work at the company’s
