Important results from the project
Hydrogen is a promising fossil-free fuel for certain segments of maritime transport. However, a significant challenge lies in developing functional systems for handling hydrogen in ports and refueling ships. The GotH2-system project aimed to map out how a system solution for handling and refueling hydrogen should be designed. Overall, the goals have been met, challenges have been identified, and knowledge has been disseminated through conferences and seminars.
Expected long term effects
The project is a crucial part of a cluster of initiatives studying how to design an effective hydrogen system for maritime transport, with a particular focus on solutions for the Gotland ferry system. In addition significant capacity building is taking place, which will contribute to the transformation of maritime transport. As a direct result of the GotH2-system, the project "Developing a system for large-scale hydrogen refueling," funded by the Swedish Transport Administration, was initiated.
Approach and implementation
Under the leadership of Uppsala University and in close collaboration with industry and research institutes, the physical flow of hydrogen in ports was mapped. Through thermodynamic simulations, possible solutions have been quantified and analyzed. A review of relevant regulations has been conducted. In workshops, researchers and industrial stakeholders have discussed and critically examined the proposed solutions.
