HyInfra: Bulk
There is a huge potential for emission cuts in the Norwegian domestic bulk/breakbulk segment, through the use of hydrogen and ammonia fuels.
The Maritime Zero-emission Infrastructure project set out to determine the propulsion energy needs for Norwegian domestic bulk and breakbulk vessels in the year 2021. The potential use of hydrogen and ammonia as part of a wider infrastructure assessment is also part of the project.
Figure 1: Energy demand for each of the harbours show large differences both in fuel type and demand.
The results from the pre-project show that the demand is well met by announced plans for fuel production. Initial indications show that centralised production may be economically preferable to local production.
Milestones
2022, October. Pre-project completed. Read about the results.
2022, June. Startup of pre-project.
2022, May. The project was granted 250.000 NOK from FME MoZEES.
Background
Maritime Zero-emission Infrastructure was funded by MoZEES as a pre-project and builds upon work carried out in the HyInfra-project. The project partners were Ocean Hyway Cluster (OHC – project lead), The Institute of Transport Economics (TØI), Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), and The Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA).
