Image Credit: LH2 Shipping Norwegian firm LH2 Shipping has secured NOK 344.3 million ($36 million) in support from state agency Enova to develop and build two additional hydrogen-powered bulk carriers. The award expands the company's hydrogen vessel portfolio to six projects, it said in an email update on Tuesday . The new 7,700 dwt vessels will be designed for shortsea bulk and general cargo trades between Norway and continental Europe . The ships will use liquid hydrogen as their primary fuel. According to LH2 Shipping, the latest award raises total Enova support for its six hydrogen-powered vessel projects to more than NOK 800 million . The company said the projects will help advance hydrogen bunkering infrastructure and support wider adoption of zero-emission shipping. However, while hydrogen is seen as a potential future fuel to decarbonise shipping, a report from classification society DNV argues that pure hydrogen is likely to play a limited role in shipping due to storage and energy constraints. Instead, DNV expects shipping marine fuel demand to centre on hydrogen-derived fuels such as ammonia and e-methanol.
