HyNjord - A marine pilot and technology demonstrator
HyNjord, a groundbreaking project demonstrating hydrogen and fuel cell technology. In the project we have worked to develop a fuel cell-based power system using Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. LOHC allows hydrogen to be safely and efficiently stored and transported in liquid form, enabling large-scale integration into maritime operations.
The project aimed to showcase a 130 kW LOHC-fuel cell system on an offshore vessel operating in the North Sea, proving its reliability and performance under real-world conditions. By integrating this technology with existing port and vessel infrastructure, HyNjord bridges a critical gap in the adoption of renewable energy in maritime transport. Experience made from the project can be used to scale to megawatt levels for broader application in ocean-going vessels.
