DNV Grants Approval in Principle (AIP) to HD KSOE’s Hydrogen System for Large-Scale Transport. HD KSOE targets hydrogen carrier development by 2030.

Hydrogen Shipping Solutions

  • Sustainable hydrogen is crucial for global energy transition.
  • Challenges in hydrogen transport at extremely low temperatures.
  • HD KSOE’s system uses boil-off gas for hybrid propulsion.
  • Collaboration with partners like Woodside Energy and Linde Engineering.
  • Goal to commercialize advancements by 2030 for decarbonizing industries.

Dr. Sungjun Kim, CTO at HD KSOE said:

“We are continuously developing world-class technology in liquefied hydrogen following our achievements in methanol, ammonia and CO2 carriers. With our hydrogen system, we will lead technology advances in transitioning to a carbon-neutral society.”

Korea & Japan

Vidar Dolonen, DNV Regional Manager for Korea & Japan, added:

“To build confidence and overcome the challenges of hydrogen transport for shipping, we need to bring many different partners together, build on the learnings from other fuels and industries, and adapt technologies to the maritime environment. This is why we are very pleased to be working with innovative partners to help establish new design standards, that can create the next generation of hydrogen carriers and help this emerging segment develop and succeed.” 

Maria Gonzalez-Perez, Vice President Strategic Planning & Portfolio New Energy of Woodside Energy stated:

“This new system is expected to accelerate the development of the hydrogen shipping value chain. To realise hydrogen shipping, the roles of hydrogen producers, consumers, and shipyards are crucial. Through ongoing collaboration, we hope to develop solutions to accelerate the growth of hydrogen.” 

Key Insights from Leaders

Lars Blum, the Managing Director of Linde Kryotechnik, noted:

“Linde Kryotechnik is pleased to collaborate with the leading shipbuilding company, HD KSOE on technology and to bridge an existing gap in the hydrogen value chain. Through this cooperation, the technologies and expertise of world class companies are brought together to help to unlock the massive potential of hydrogen.”

Samuel Zouaghi, CEO of Cryostar, commented:

“Cryostar is progressively developing equipment for hydrogen, both on land and at sea. Leveraging our expertise, we will develop equipment that aligns perfectly with the newly developed system and hydrogen vessels.”
