Hydrogen products consultancy for the maritime industry

Hydrogen-based fuels and carbon capture are crucial in the transition away from fossil fuels. Transporting hydrogen carriers like ammonia and methanol over long distances relies largely on shipping. And that supply chain can’t function without the right port facilities.

Green hydrogen and carbon capture for the maritime services

As the renewable energy market continues to grow, it’s creating a huge opportunity for ports, investors, and end users. Hydrogen, eFuels, biofuels, and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) are all on the rise. So it’s important you find the right mix of fuels to support for your site’s specific constraints.

Ports that can support the hydrogen market will be in the best place to capitalise on the renewable energy market – so it’s time to get your port ready.

You will need to define your desired strategic position in the supply chain, considering the surroundings and supply and demand potential. Plus, you need the right infrastructure to support this strategic position, including transportation, storage, and bunkering, to make the most of the hydrogen market.

Ports are crucial to the hydrogen supply chain, so investors must support them in order to progress renewable energy projects and see a return on their investment. What’s more, the better equipped a port is to support the hydrogen market, the more secure supply will be for end users.

We understand the challenges you face in creating the energy hubs of tomorrow:

Regulatory frameworks take time and yet don’t offer clear guidelines to follow
Infrastructure investments must be fully investigated to ensure they’re appropriate
Solutions need to be scalable and safe
The impact on the port environment will need to be minimised in often congested areas

Our team can help you overcome these challenges with support throughout the complete value chain, including commercial and economic evaluations, supply chain logistic expertise, nautical assessments, safety studies, stakeholder engagement, and detailed design.

We use our expertise in liquid bulk and other innovative developments in the renewable energy sector to help you find the most appropriate mix for your site’s layout and strategic position.
