Hydrogen-powered tanker project on the starting line

The pioneering concept could become a first mover in this maritime shipping segment and contribute to achieving the ambitious climate targets committed by the European Union.

In a statement on the project, Shell Shipping and Maritime technology manager Stephen Brown said, “We are working with our customers and across sectors to accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions. We will contribute to a net-zero world, where society stops adding to the greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.”

TECO 2030 Group chief executive Tore Enger said, “We are humbled to work on Hy-Ekotank with Ektank, Shell and DNV, as we believe these partners are a perfect match.”

He added, “With a cargo owner, shipowner, classification society, and a fuel-cell provider, we will show the world what hydrogen is capable of doing for the maritime shipping industry. It is all about eliminating emissions, and increasing value-adding activities.”
