BAKU, Azerbaijan, Dec.23
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Both Blue Hydrogen (hydrogen from fossil fuel with carbon capture) and Green Hydrogen (hydrogen from water electrolysis with renewable power) are being considered by Saipem, Trend reports with reference to “2021 SHAPING A NET-ZERO FUTURE" issued on Saipem’s website.
“Green Hydrogen is the final target, but Blue Hydrogen is a compatible opportunity for moving this option to the market more quickly in the next two decades. Saipem is concentrating its efforts both on onshore and offshore hydrogen production technologies and on related infrastructure issues which will be decisive in its fully successful affirmation. We have begun to develop several projects and activities in the hydrogen field, in the intimately connected areas of technology innovation and industrial initiatives development,” reads the report.
Saipem notes the following initiatives with regard to technology Innovation: in response to the global ambition of reducing the environmental footprint from global ship transport, Moss Maritime, in cooperation with Equinor, Wilhelmsen and DNV-GL, has developed a design for a Liquefied Hydrogen (LH2) bunker vessel; Sofresid Engineering was the winner of an Open Innovation Challenge launched by RTE (French Electric Network) with the HyBSea system. HyBSea is a concept for the development of a “marinised” module including sea water treatment, and electrolysed production of hydrogen and oxygen.
