Hexagon Purus Maritime supplies Freire Shipyard with hydrogen fuel
system for new Greenpeace vessel
Hexagon Purus Maritime, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon
Purus, has received a purchase order for a compressed hydrogen fuel
system from Freire Shipyard in Vigo, Spain. The system will be used
on Greenpeace's new 75-meter vessel featuring advanced green
technologies, including hydrogen and e-methanol power systems. The
value of the order is approximately EUR 2.5 million (approx. NOK 29
million).
"We are delighted to support Greenpeace's mission to showcase
innovative solutions for reducing maritime emissions," said Robert
Haugen, Managing Director of Hexagon Purus Maritime. "This
partnership underscores our commitment to pioneering zero-emission
technologies and contributing to a sustainable future for the
maritime industry."
Delivery of the hydrogen fuel system is scheduled for 2027.
The Greenpeace vessel, built by Freire Shipyard and designed by
Dykstra will harness wind and solar power through over 2000 square
meters of sails, battery packs, and solar panels. It will also
feature advanced power systems enabling the use of green hydrogen
and e-methanol to meet its remaining energy needs.
"Hexagon Purus is committed to actively leading the way in
developing zero-emission alternatives”, says Guillermo Freire,
Managing Director, Freire Shipyard. “After a comprehensive tender
process, we became confident that Hexagon Purus Maritime had the
ability and highest technical capabilities to deliver on this
exciting project”.
Driving Energy Transformation
In 2023, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a
revised strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
international shipping. The revised strategy includes a common
ambition to (i) reach net-zero GHG emission by or around 2050 and
(ii) indicative milestones that call for reducing total GHG
emissions of up to 30% by 2030 and 80% by 2040 measured from GHG
emission levels in 2008.
Making green hydrogen available for use in the maritime sector
is crucial to reducing the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Green
hydrogen is expected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy
needs by 2050.
