Provaris: Benefits of H2 Compression

[Sparty]

https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/PV1/02668081.pdf

Provaris’ latest report compares the delivery cost of hydrogen for three hydrogen energy vectors (compression, liquefaction, and ammonia) when integrated with a variable renewable energy profile to produce hydrogen.

Compression is the most cost-effective option for regional transport distances from 500 to 4000 nautical miles with volumes of up to 500,000 tonnes per annum (tpa).

Solving the challenge of safe, low-cost regional green hydrogen storage & supply using the simplicity and efficiency of compression

Leveraged to European policy actions mandating the use of hydrogen in the energy mix

Unique approach creates first mover advantage and most economical regional hydrogen supply

Final shipping approvals imminent, paving the way for near term commercialization opportunities

Increasing attention from major energy companies seeking gaseous hydrogen supply alternatives, evidenced with recent MOUs

Advancing hydrogen supply projects in collaboration with local partners, utilizing Provaris storage and transport solutions

Multiple discussions underway to provide future funding for future asset development

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Expanding Collaboration: Building on their successful partnership, Norwegian Hydrogen and Provaris Energy are now focusing on accelerating the development of new hydrogen export facilities across the Nordic region.

• Leveraging Past Successes: Utilizing insights from the successful pre-development activities for the FjordH2

The project, completed in 2023, the companies are reviewing potential sites across multiple Nordic countries for the development of a comprehensive portfolio of hydrogen development projects.

• Commitment to Efficiency and Sustainability: The collaboration aims to create energy and capital-efficient projects that will deliver green hydrogen to European industrial users, supporting Europe’s ambitious decarbonization efforts.

a comparison between Provaris’ Compressed Hydrogen and the Suiso Frontier’s Liquefied Hydrogen Carriage based on the information available:

Provaris’ Compressed Hydrogen:

Provaris Energy is developing a marine transport and supply chain for compressed hydrogen1.
They are developing proprietary gaseous hydrogen containment tanks for carriers and storage solutions1. The H2Neo (430-tonne) and H2Max (2,000-tonne) capacity carriers and the H2Leo storage barge (300 - 600 tonne capacity range) designs are advancing through to final marine classification and approvals https://www.provaris.energy/
Provaris advocates for the development of regional hydrogen supply chains that focus on energy efficiency, delivered cost, and simplicity to execute https://www.provaris.energy/
Provaris’ Report compared the delivery cost of hydrogen using compression, liquefaction, and ammonia as the transportation method – across the entire value supply chain, from renewable energy generation to delivered gaseous hydrogen to the customer https://www.provaris.energy/supply-chain
Based on the analysis and outcomes of the Report – compression is the most efficient when you analyse the full value chain https://www.provaris.energy/supply-chain

Suiso Frontier’s Liquefied Hydrogen Carriage:

The Suiso Frontier is the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier https://www.hydrogenenergysupplychai...uiso-frontier/
The ship was completed in 2020, designed and constructed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries https://www.hydrogenenergysupplychai...uiso-frontier/
The ship has been used to transport liquefied hydrogen from the Port of Hastings, Victoria, to Kobe, Japan https://www.hydrogenenergysupplychai...uiso-frontier/
The ship’s centrepiece is its 1,250 m3 Liquefied Hydrogen (LH2) storage tank https://www.hydrogenenergysupplychai...uiso-frontier/
The tank can safely carry liquefied hydrogen at 1/800th of its original gas-state volume https://www.hydrogenenergysupplychai...uiso-frontier/
The tank keeps the hydrogen at the cryogenic temperature of –253°Chttps://www.hydrogenenergysupplychain.com/about-the-pilot/supply-chain/the-suiso-frontier/

In conclusion, both methods have their own advantages and are suited for different applications. Provaris’ compressed hydrogen is more energy-efficient and cost-effective for regional distances, while the Suiso Frontier’s liquefied hydrogen carriage allows for large-scale international transport. However, it’s important to note that these technologies are still in their early stages, and further advancements are expected as research and development continue.
