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.

Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at brondyra kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at ridgegrid 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.

Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at trendtally 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.

Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at calmcrest extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
WarrenAspen
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at sunnyshopline continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
Bobbyrix
Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at jonathangiles held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.
Jeremiahicoth
Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after dalvanta I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.
Morrisvek
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at dataolive added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.

Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after blog33mouth I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.
CesarIsomb
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at featureds added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.
DiegoFaing
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at excelforge did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
CadenWex
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after victorkelly I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.

Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at eclatpearl added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
Ronbes
Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at powerplugshop confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.
Dominicgab
Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at jefferyschmidt extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at voxsync continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
YorkSmate
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at computecradle extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
NormanWaw
Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at blog66approach extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.
MiguelKiz
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at rapidrunway continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at chiccheckout maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.

Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at blog44wait continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at visavoyage kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.

However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at blog66box confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to blog66authors maintained the same restraint, visual filler is a tell that the writing cannot stand on its own and the lack of it here suggests the team has confidence in their content quality alone.

Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at musclemyth provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
KennethAcito
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at blog44within extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
JesusFlacy
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at blog44through 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.
MichaelSem
Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at ztbpm51m hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.
EmilianoLep
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at metrodash confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Ivantraiz
Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at blog66behavior carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.
Cameroneximb
Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at blog66as added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.
DerekInend
Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at truecrimecrate continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Reednoupe
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at bathbreeze produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
Billysnata
Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at softplateau kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.
