Shell International Trading and Shipping Company has teamed up with Alfa Laval to develop a gas combustion unit (GCU) for use on liquid hydrogen carriers.
By paving the way for the safe transport of hydrogen by sea, the project is an “important step” on the path to global decarbonisation, the companies said.
The tie-up will see Alfa Laval develop a system to safely combust hydrogen boil-off gas (BOG) from a vessel’s storage tank, as part of a new liquid hydrogen carrier.
