Shell and GTT to accelerate the development of liquid hydrogen technologies

This cooperation agreement is part of Shell's strategy to develop a hydrogen energy supply chain by creating scalable and safe liquefied hydrogen shipping technologies. This includes the development by GTT of a preliminary liquid hydrogen carrier design as well as a liquid hydrogen cargo containment system for mid-size liquid hydrogen carrier.

The demand for hydrogen across multiple sectors is forecast to increase to meet the need for net zero carbon energy sources in the energy transition. The ability to transport very large volumes of hydrogen in liquefied form, at -250°C, is one of the technological challenges that must be met in order to establish a reliable, efficient, and competitive hydrogen supply chain.

With this goal in mind, GTT brings its more than 50-year track-record and recognised expertise in membrane containment systems and cryogenic technologies developed for the shipping and storage of LNG. The company’s technological know-how and capacity for innovation are major assets for developing an optimal containment solution that can be used on an industrial scale for the maritime transport of liquefied hydrogen.
