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.

Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at shorestitch carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.

Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at posterpalace extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.

A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at exploreember continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Krisrailt
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at wagonwildflower kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.

Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at logiclane 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.

Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at deltastack kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at blog33describe maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
DreHoine
If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at contentcircuit reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at suaveshelf continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
DaxTox
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at mintmariner extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
DariusFoutt
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at vpnreview confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
DwightZedgE
Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at devpasture confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at invoiceisle continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
CodyOrefs
Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at blog33pain confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.
Chancewhape
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 appmeadow 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.
KalFoumb
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at peonyport extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
MarcusDor
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at edwardrowe continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Kareemduh
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at blog66explain kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at blog44worker reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.

Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at speedboostshop suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.
ChristianSep
Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at devorchard provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.
Dylanpeeri
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to palvion continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
SonnyWhofs
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at partyparlor continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
Brendonniz
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at graphflow extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Ricardonax
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at pixelgrid earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at blog44around continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Averynasse
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at teaterminal extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to palvanta only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
Bobbyfew
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at stylestitchery continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
WinstonGrock
Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at icewigs continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at workwelly added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
AlonzoJuign
Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at webvalley added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.
HunterLon
Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at blog33rate extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.
TerrellNef
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at ravennet confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Nealces
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at cloudcloak 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.
