Presentation SBM Offshore

The interest in hydrogen has increased dramatically to support climate change abatement, and it is considered one of the main molecules of interest for the clean energy transition.​

Among other benefits, hydrogen can be produced from clean energy sources, offers good energy density and presents a wide diversity in application. However, a major downside to H2 as a fuel lies in the supply chain dimension, with considerably high costs of transport and storage. To increase this economic viability, ammonia comes into play as a hydrogen carrier option.​

Ammonia is one of the most produced inorganic chemicals in the world. With its established transportation network and high flexibility, the applicability of ammonia for power generation will only require limited technical and financial investments. Nevertheless, NH3 presents its own disadvantages, such as its corrosive and toxic characteristics that warrant careful health considerations.

The presentation will introduce the markets, drivers and opportunities for (blue) ammonia and outline the technical basis for a Blue Ammonia FPSO concept SBM has developed over the past years.

In particular will be addressed: Technology selection, CO2 Capture, Storage and Offloading and Technology Readiness of the Blue Amonia FPSO concept.
