Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Technip Energies to revolutionize clean energy logistics by converting imported ammonia into clean hydrogen at sea. The collaboration aims to equip the vessel, Fresh, with advanced ammonia cracking technology to enable low-carbon energy logistics. Fresh, a 170-meter ship, will be capable of storing 45,000 m3 of ammonia and converting it onboard into 99.9% pure hydrogen using Technip Energies's high-efficiency process. With a remarkable production capacity of 50,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually and boasting over 90% energy efficiency, the ship will function as a mobile hydrogen terminal. The hydrogen produced will be compressed and offloaded onshore for utilization in the power industry and transport sectors. Fresh will be stationed at the port during production, receiving ammonia from carriers for conversion, and can be redeployed based on hydrogen demand, offering a flexible and efficient solution for clean energy delivery. Ammonia's suitability for hydrogen production, its hydrogen-rich composition, ease of storage, and compatibility with existing infrastructure make it an ideal choice. Additionally, ammonia is increasingly viewed as a vital marine fuel for decarbonizing the shipping industry. LDA will take charge of constructing and operating the vessel, while Technip Energies will integrate the cutting-edge cracking system, showcasing a collaborative effort towards sustainable energy solutions.
