H2Carrier AS, Oslo, and Larsen &Toubro (L&T), the Mumbai-based multinational engaged in EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing, and services, on Jan. 13 announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate toward developing floating green ammonia projects, the P2XFloater™, for industrial-scale applications.
H2C plans to build the P2XFloater™ hull at yards in Asia, while L&T will design & fabricate the topside process & utility modules for the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia, including the electrolysers, the nitrogen generation plant, and ammonia synthesis.
Installation and integration of the topsides modules into the hull can be customized as per location preferences, i.e., can be carried out in India or in other geographies. Under the MOU, L&T will become a partner for the engineering, contract, procurement, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) of the topsides processing plant.
H2C is the designer and owner of the proprietary floating energy production and storage system P2XFloater™, an industrial-scale floating green hydrogen and green ammonia facility. As far as H2Carrier is aware, the P2XFloater™is the first of its kind to be launched on a global basis capable of producing hydrogen and ammonia on an industrial scale.
H2Carrier said its concept is based on proven floating production, storage, and offtake technologies from the oil and gas industry in combination with an e-control system capable of balancing renewable electricity feedstock through a fully integrated electrolyser and Haber-Bosch system. H2C will build, own/lease, and operate a fleet of P2XFloaters™.
L&T said it has over four decades of experience in building large-scale hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and derivative plants, and also has an expertise in delivering comprehensive modular business solutions for various applications for onshore and offshore projects, as well as power and offshore wind farms.
