The concept is to collect ocean plastic waste and convert it into hydrogen fuel.
The rate growth of the amount of plastic waste in the world’s oceans is growing rapidly with the UN and others calling for immediate efforts to reduce the problem. A startup company developing hydrogen technologies, H2-Industries, working with naval architecture company TECHNOLOG Services has developed a novel concept ship that they say could collect plastic waste from the world’s oceans and converts it into hydrogen.
The ship is being designed to be more than 490 feet in length, with the exact size to be clarified at the design stage, depending on optimal storage capacity. The plan is for the ship to travel at four knots with the waste plastic collected by two smaller vessels towing a two-mile net that funnels the waste from the surface and up to depths of 30 feet. The vessel would use a novel open bow design that allows the collected plastic waste to be fed onto conveyors and into the storage hold. The waste would be converted into hydrogen using a thermolysis process that the H2-Industries is developing for plants onshore.
“It is becoming increasingly clear that the shipping industry can make a positive impact on reducing global emissions. At H2-Industries, the plan is to help decarbonize industry and power generation, while cleaning up our water resources and converting pollutants into an energy source,” said Michael Stusch, CEO of H2-Industries.
For every 600 kg of waste collected, Stusch says approximately 100 kg of hydrogen can be produced and then, stored in a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, a fluid that can carry hydrogen and can be shipped in 20-foot containers. These containers would be transferred to smaller vessels by onboard cranes for delivery to shore.
The ship itself would run on electric motors using the hydrogen-charged fluid which is charged and discharged using proprietary catalyst technology developed by H2-Industries. The fluid, known as LOHC, produced on board would be used as the fuel aboard the ship and create electricity using H2-Industries’ 19-inch eRelease racks. Each rack will hold 48 KW of installed power and there will be multiple racks to deliver the approximately 2 MW that a ship of this size would require. H2-Industries developed the technology and intends to also promote it for use on cruise ships, supertankers, and large containerships. H2-Industries reports it has received preliminary approval to build its first LOHC hub in East Port Said in Egypt and is currently in discussions with more than 20 countries and, as well, with several ports worldwide.
One constraining factor for production the company notes is the volume of plastic feedstock. One rotary kiln they said can handle 600 kgs of waste every hour and that will generate approximately 100 kgs of hydrogen. Each ship will be designed to be fitted with multiple kilns to match the speed of plastic collection. The concept projects that each ship would collect plastic for around a year in one location before moving on to another water waste site. To ensure no marine wildlife is endangered during the waste collection process, the vessel will employ industry-tested technology developed for the seawater intake for desalination plants designed to protect wildlife and habitats.
H2-Industries expects that each ship could be built within roughly 24 months, once it has raised sufficient investments.

Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at orbitolive continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.

Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at utilityunit also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.

Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at boldbasketry produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
KalMus
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at glamgarrison reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
RoccoDut
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at vividvendor continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.

Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at neonnotch fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
ArnoldLof
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at henvoria extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
Eugenevoity
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at venvira carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.

Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at roamgrid reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
KendrickBeerm
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at brightbloomy produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
EdgarAdaps
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at appmagnate extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
Curtiswaw
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at versaview kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
DarrenSnant
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at tactspot extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
Trentonculty
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at rebeccasbrown confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at softriches kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
Johngipse
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at blog33boy kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at soothesail reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.
Lucastar
Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at checkoutchamp maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
JeffreyawaKy
Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at blog66hospital only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.
LelandTut
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to blog66generation I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at blog66focuss similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.

Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at mossmingle extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
IanJah
Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at hormonehelp reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.
Ezekielrum
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to zappyzeny kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at jasperjoy continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.
Adamror
Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at jubaylstore extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
WayneInops
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at blog33beyond continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at truvella confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
KerryIncub
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at blog66least extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.

Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at cinemacrate continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
GerardoHoort
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at dorvani produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.

Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at zappyzeny confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
Derrickdig
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at blog44hang extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
Leoinabs
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at walletworks reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
