SH2IPDRIVE

hydrogen for maritime

Running

SH2IPDRIVE (Sustainable Hydrogen Integrated Propulsion Drives) is focussing on developing reliable, safe, standardized, scalable and cost-effective solutions for zero-emission hydrogen-based ship propulsion and energy systems.
In the SH2IPDRIVE (Sustainable Hydrogen Integrated Propulsion Drives) project, 25 companies and knowledge institutions from the maritime sector are working together on a broad and ambitious innovation project to accelerate the introduction of hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier.

The project activities cover the full scope of hydrogen research and development, and are organised in nine different work packages including Bunker and Storage Systems, Hydrogen Carriers, Fuel Cells, Data Collection and System Validation, System Integration, Modular Testing, Ship Design and Safety.

What is the objective of SH2IPDRIVe

SH2IPDRIVE's primary goal is to develop reliable, safe, standardized, scalable and cost-effective solutions for zero-emission hydrogen-based ship propulsion and energy systems. In the project, new research is being conducted into the development of safe applicable technologies for hydrogen in four different forms: Compressed hydrogen (CH2), Liquid hydrogen (LH2), Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) and Borohydrides.

SH2IPDRIVE is in line with the objectives formulated in the Maritime Master Plan, which sets out the ambition to make the Netherlands a world leader in the field of sustainable shipbuilding and shipping, including by putting at least thirty emission-free ships into service by 2030.
