Finnish partners developing technology for onboard hydrogen production from LNG

Finnish partners developing technology for onboard hydrogen production from LNG.
Finnish technology group Wartsila has entered into a joint development agreement with Hycamite TCD Technologies, a privately-owned compatriot company specialising in the development of technology for producing clean hydrogen and solid carbon from methane.
Under the agreement, the two companies will work together to develop cost-effective production of hydrogen from liquefied natural gas (LNG) onboard marine vessels.
As disclosed, the concept design will be ready by mid-2023 and the prototype testing unit will be ready during the second half of 2024.

The concept will allow the existing LNG infrastructure to be utilised and enable the production of hydrogen onboard in combination with Wartsila’s LNGPac Fuel Gas Supply System.
By producing hydrogen onboard and blending it with LNG, the current range of fuel-flexible Wartsila dual-fuel (DF) engines can reduce the vessel’s overall carbon dioxide and methane slip emissions.
