Feasibility tests for onboarding of release reactor and use in a marine environment

Since the maritime sector is a priority for the company, the landfill reactor had to be adapted for this environment. The project, which began on October 1, 2022, in collaboration with NepTech and formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), aims to validate this adaptation.

It is entirely feasible to store HydroSil and its release reactor on board a ship, allowing the hydrogen release reaction to be carried out on board. This hydrogen can then be used to propel the vessel. This solution offers several advantages, including the ability to store more hydrogen on board, thereby increasing the ship’s autonomy. Additionally, it simplifies logistics, as transporting liquid is easier than gas, and it provides a more secure storage method.

The project’s focus is on validating the performance of the operational reactor and stored HydroSil in a marine environment. A detailed series of tests will be conducted to ensure the specifications meet marine standards.

Start: October 2022
