WEBINAR – Scaling liquid hydrogen transport: boil-off gas compression as the enabler of commercial LH2 shipping
As liquid hydrogen (LH2) emerges as a leading option for long-distance hydrogen transport, the industry is moving beyond demonstration projects toward commercial-scale carriers. Publicly announced vessel designs approaching 40 000 m³ signal a step change in capacity, and with it, a step change in machinery requirements.
At these scales, boil-off gas (BOG) is no longer a marginal loss. It becomes a continuous process stream that directly shapes vessel design, onboard systems, and overall transport efficiency.
This webinar examines LH2 transport from a machinery perspective, focusing on the critical role of BOG compression. It will explore how increasing vessel size drives higher volumetric flow, more demanding duty cycles, and new reliability expectations for rotating equipment in marine environments.
The session will also connect upstream liquefaction decisions to downstream BOG behaviour, highlighting how the full value chain influences compression system design.
Attendees will gain practical insight into the real constraints of scaling LH2 shipping, and why effective BOG management is central to making liquid hydrogen transport commercially viable.
