Abstract

The specific technical characteristics of hydrogen having an impact on its sea transportation are outlined and the related requirements for LH2 vessels are defined. After a brief review of past development and present state of the art, future concepts of large scale liquid hydrogen sea transportation are described and evaluated. This includes the provision for a defined consumer profile as integrated part of the Euro-Quebec Hydro Hydrogen Pilot Project (EQHPP), a joint German system development for world wide transportation of liquid hydrogen and the Japanese studies on the same subject, conducted within the WE-NET (world energy net-work) research programme as part of the new ‘ Sunshine Project’. As a first attempt of commercial application under present market conditions, a Canadian project is describes based on newly developed jumbo containers for multi modal transportation. The technical comparison of the various concept is supplemented by economic calculations, wherever possible.
