Norway-based H2 Carrier has developed a concept dubbed P2XFloater, which involves the conversion of a Very Large Gas Carrier into a floating, production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO).

The FPSO will produce ammonia through the Haber-Bosch process, using green hydrogen produced through electrolysis of seawater with renewable energy, as well as nitrogen produced onboard.

The Haber-Bosch process produces liquid ammonia when hydrogen and nitrogen are combined under high pressure and temperature.

The AiP covers all aspects of the integrated vessel concept including structural integrity, mooring, ammonia production, ammonia storage and cargo handling, says Conn Fagan, DNV’s vice president of business development for floating production.
