Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries has unveiled the world’s first ship able to transport large volumes of liquid hydrogen fuel.
The firm says the development of the 8.000-tonne SUISO Frontier will vastly expand cargo capacity of the fuel and enable it to be shipped from Australia to Japan in significant quantities – the ship is able to carry 1.250 cubic metres of liquid hydrogen in a single tank.
The gas will be produced in Australia using cheap coal. before being liquefied at -253°C.
Japan hopes to build a commercial hydrogen supply chain by 2030 – it considers the coal-produced hydrogen a green option as no emissions are created at the point of use.
Trial shipments are due to begin by March 2021.
