Científicos noruegos optimizan el uso de hidrógeno y baterías para descarbonizar ferris rápidos en trayectos complejos como Bodø–Sandnessjøen.

  • ???? Baterías + hidrógeno.
  • ???? Ferris rápidos, altas emisiones.
  • ???? Rutas largas, condiciones duras.
  • ???? Datos reales durante 1 año.
  • ⚖️ Equilibrio energético clave.
  • ???????? Noruega acelera el cambio.
  • ⚡ Electrificación parcial insuficiente.
  • ???? Modelo escalable a otras rutas.

Esta exigente ruta de ferry costero obliga a replantear radicalmente la velocidad limpia en el mar

La transición energética en el transporte marítimo ya no es una promesa lejana. En rutas exigentes como la costa de Noruega, donde el viento, las olas y las distancias no dan tregua, empieza a verse con claridad que la descarbonización del transporte rápido por mar es técnicamente viable… pero

The AmmoniaDrive project explained – Ammonia as a marine fuel ‘done right’

 

Several news items and short movies have appeared online recently, announcing that the AmmoniaDrive Consortium was awarded a prestigious NWO Perspectief grant. But what is the AmmoniaDrive research project? How does it contribute to combatting shipping-induced climate change? Who are in the consortium and why? And finally, what research activities will take place?

Technology

Swiss marine power company WinGD has completed what it says is the world’s first type approval (TAT) and factory acceptance testing (FAT) for an ammonia-fuelled two-stroke marine engine.

Both TAT and FAT programs were completed last month, with testing of the X52DF-A-1.0 engine carried out at the HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ Engine & Machinery (HHI-EMD) facility in South Korea, witnessed by classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR), with representatives from all major classification societies, supervised by Belgian shipping company EXMAR.

 

The testing was carried out on a 52-bore engine to be installed on a 46,000m3 LPG/ammonia carrier on order for EXMAR. According to WinGD, the vessels in the series are set to become the first ammonia-fuelled gas carriers

StreamTec and Worley team up on GW-scale North Sea hydrogen pipeline

Offshore -Enerye

Project & Tenders

Switzerland-based StreamTec Solutions has joined Worley in the execution team for an offshore pipeline that will connect green hydrogen obtained in the North Sea with the European mainland and onshore hydrogen infrastructure.

The gigawatt-scale AquaDuctus hydrogen pipeline to be located in the German North Sea will enable green hydrogen producers, particularly those linked to offshore wind, to transport hydrogen from offshore production sites to the European mainland.

 

It will form the core of an interconnected offshore hydrogen network linking Germany with neighboring North Sea countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, the UK and Norway. The project has been recognized as an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI).

The overall scope led by Worley includes engineering,

Critical dependency (80%+ of oil via Hormuz)

Tier 1: Critical dependency (80%+ of oil via Hormuz)

Japan

Japan is the world's fourth-largest oil consumer but produces almost none of its own. Roughly 85–90% of Japanese oil imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, sourced primarily from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and

Qatar.

After the 2011 Fukushima disaster shut down most of Japan's nuclear fleet, the country became even more dependent on imported fossil fuels — both oil and LNG. Japan holds one of the world's largest strategic petroleum reserves at roughly 175 days of net imports, which provides a substantial buffer. But reserves are a stopgap, not a solution.

Japan has been actively diversifying suppliers, increasing imports from Russia, Africa, and the Americas, but Middle Eastern oil remains dominant due to
