LH2Project is a cutting-edge initiative focused on advancing maritime technology for long-term and large-scale storage and transportation of LH2 (liquid hydrogen). With sustainability and safety at its core, this project is dedicated to reshaping among other things the future of LH2 logistics.
Within the LH2CRAFT Project, WP2 is a pivotal component of the LH2CRAFT initiative, with a primary focus on techno-economic assessment and the evaluation of available cryogenic containment technologies. It involves extrapolating data from the global energy trade market, specifically LNG, to anticipate future LH2 trading patterns and requirements. Additionally, WP2 identifies key techno-economic drivers for benchmarking cryogenic containment technologies, ensuring the safety, reliability, and economic efficiency of LH2 cargo solutions. Furthermore, it will outline both initial and final specifications for LH2 cargo containment systems, while employing key performance indicators (KPIs) and a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach for technology evaluation and investment decisions. WP2 plays a crucial role in shaping the strategic direction of the project, ensuring LH2 technology solutions meet the needs of future global energy markets.
Task 2.2 has a central role in this phase of the project, as it will outline a high-level specification of the LH2 cargo containment system that will be investigated in the project. This task is pivotal as it sets the foundation for the entire project, guiding the concept design of the LH2 cargo containment system (LH2 CCS) and shaping the upcoming desktop studies.
At the forefront of this task, RINA takes on a central role in the coordination and facilitation of a significant workshop. This collaborative assembly brings together RINA and key technical partners, including designers, manufacturers, and risk assessment experts. Together, they will explore the technological and economic dimensions, evaluating feasibility, and charting a well-considered path for implementation of cryogenic containment technologies.
