Concept Engineering Design for the Tank Storage System: Progress update of Task 3.1

Considering that hydrogen’s energy efficiency per unit volume are lower than those of existing fossil fuels, transportation demand is expected to be larger compared to LNG or crude oil. In preparation for the increase in transportation demand, the liquefied hydrogen carriers with a capacity of 160,000 m3 or more, similar to LNG cargo holds, will be emerging. In order to secure products that can respond to these expected future demands, a membrane-type liquefied hydrogen cargo containment system has been developed in the LH2CRAFT.

HD KSOE’s experience and know-how in the development of membrane type cryogenic cargo containment system, together with the knowledge of liquefied hydrogen held by the LH2CRAFT partners in Europe, has led to the development of a reliable cargo containment structure using new insulation materials. Using numerical techniques, HD KSOE has demonstrated that the cargo containment system is structurally safe and can efficiently transport liquefied hydrogen at sea.
