Summary
This topic aims to contribute to setting standards for future inherently safer hydrogen bunkering for inland shipping, and for short-distance sea-going maritime applications, including in island contexts. Developing these solutions is of vital importance to facilitating further innovation activity in deploying hydrogen solutions in shipping, as well as in de-risking future investments.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should also:
- Demonstrate a smart and safe logistics solutions and develop a market standard to support front-running shipping projects;
- Evaluate the proposed solutions from technical and economic points of view, including robustly considering business models and the cost of hydrogen delivered;
- Address health, safety and environmental considerations, and should take account of standards in development internationally;
- Specifically, build upon existing blueprints deriving from liquified natural gas protocols and international standards developed for those.
Proposals should provide a preliminary draft on ‘hydrogen safety planning and management’ at the project level, which will be further updated during project implementation.
