HydroFlexx
Safe hydrogen carrier with an energy density similar to HSFO
Next development: H2 circular solution
Our subsidiary Hydro-Flexx® is developing a renewable energy solution, which uses a powder-based hydrogen carrier with zero CO2 emissions. It has an energy density similar to HSFO. This revolutionary solution is safe to store, easy to transport and easy to scale.
H2 circular solution
How it works
We are extracting hydrogen from a solid powder. The hydrogen-rich powder is mixed with water, which reacts in a reaction chamber.
The hydrogen released from the process can be used by a fuel cell or internal combustion engine. We will ensure the purity requirements are met. The energy created from this process can be used for main propulsion on a ship, charging a battery or auxiliary systems.
The spent fuel is stored in the same bunker as the hydrogen-rich powder. By compartmentalizing the storage, we provide an efficient and space-saving solution. The spent fuel is collected and re-used in the recycling process, making this a sustainable and cost-effective solution.
