據全球能源新聞網4月1日報道，挪威輪渡運營商Norled選定林德為全球第一艘運營中的氫動力輪渡提供液氫和相關基礎設施，這艘輪渡將同時運輸汽車和乘客。

林德將為挪威的MF Hydra ferry提供全方位服務解決方案。液態氫將由林德在德國Leuna化學工廠的24MW電解槽提供，該電解槽將使用PEM(質子交換膜)技術生產綠色氫。林德還將建造和安裝陸上和船上的氫儲存、分配和安全設備。氫供應計劃于2022年開始，屆時這艘以燃料電池為動力的輪渡每年的碳排放量將減少高達95%。

林德歐洲北部主管 Armando Botello表示，氫是一種強大的能源載體，在移動時具有減少碳排放的潛力。我們很自豪能夠與Norled合作，共同引領海洋部門向氣候友好型燃料過渡。

Norled的首席執行官Heidi Wolden表示，我們相信氫將在未來的零排放船舶中發揮重要作用。

林德在氫的生產、加工、儲存和分銷方面處于全球領先地位。其擁有世界上最大的液氫產能和分配系統。該公司還運營著世界上首個高純氫儲存庫，以及一個無與倫比的約1000公里長的管道網絡，為客戶提供可靠的氫供應。林德處于向清潔氫氣過渡的前沿，在世界范圍內已經建造了近200個氫燃料站和80個氫電解廠。該公司通過其合資企業ITM林德電解有限公司提供最新的電解技術。

林德集團是一家在愛爾蘭注冊成立的跨國化工公司，運營總部設在英國薩里郡的吉爾福德。

Norled AS是挪威最大的渡輪和快艇運營商之一。該公司總部設在斯塔萬格，擁有80艘船只，經營從奧斯陸峽灣到特羅姆斯縣的渡輪和快艇服務。

LINDE TO SUPPLY LIQUID HYDROGEN TO WORLD’S FIRST HYDROGEN-POWERED FERRY

Linde has been selected by Norwegian ferry operator Norled to supply liquid hydrogen and related infrastructure to the world’s first operational hydrogen-powered ferry, which will transport both cars and passengers.

Linde will provide a full-service solution to the MF Hydra ferry in Norway. Liquid hydrogen will be supplied from Linde’s new 24MW electrolyzer at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany, which will use PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) technology to produce green hydrogen. Linde will also build and install onshore and onboard hydrogen storage, distribution and safety equipment. Supply of hydrogen is scheduled to commence in 2022, at which point the fuel cell-powered ferry will reduce its annual carbon emissions by up to 95%.

“Hydrogen is a powerful energy carrier with proven potential for reducing carbon emissions when used in mobility,” said Armando Botello, President Europe North, Linde. “We are proud to be working with Norled and, together, take the lead in developing the marine sector’s transition to climate-friendly fuels.”

“We believe that hydrogen will play a significant role in the future of zero-emission ships,” said Heidi Wolden, CEO of Norled.

Linde is a global leader in the production, processing, storage and distribution of hydrogen. It has the largest liquid hydrogen capacity and distribution system in the world. The company also operates the world’s first high-purity hydrogen storage cavern, coupled with an unrivaled pipeline network of approximately 1,000 kilometers to reliably supply its customers. Linde is at the forefront in the transition to clean hydrogen and has installed close to 200 hydrogen fueling stations and 80 hydrogen electrolysis plants worldwide. The company offers the latest electrolysis technology through its joint venture ITM Linde Electrolysis GmbH.

Linde plc is a multinational chemical company incorporated and registered in Ireland and with operating headquarters in Guildford, Surrey.

Norled AS is one of Norway’s largest ferry and express boat operators. The company with head office in Stavanger, has 80 vessels and operates ferry and express boat services from the Oslofjord to Troms county.
