Customer satisfaction
Deliverable
Our analyses revealed significant discrepancies between the regulatory measures in force and the specific needs of our customer, the HYNOVA shipyard, with regard to hydrogen refuelling. We identified inadequacies, particularly in terms of safety distance, schedule, frequency and packaging.
This methodical approach has enabled us to gain an in-depth understanding of the rules and standards applicable to hydrogen refuelling in French ports.
As a result, we have developed tailor-made recommendations to ensure the safe and efficient implementation of hydrogen operations.
The client received a comprehensive, written final deliverable, as well as a practical guide for ports including the main key elements to be checked.
Company specialising in liquid hydrogen storage.
Our customer challenge
Absolut Hydrogen, a supplier of liquid hydrogen storage solutions (LH2), has investigated the potential of the French market for the integration of liquid hydrogen for maritime applications.
Achievement
-
Comprehensive list of shipyards, shipowners, naval architects and integrators in France.
-
Preparation of an explanatory document on the use and storage of liquid hydrogen in collaboration with our customer, designed to explain how it works to the people interviewed.
-
The challenges: tank size, weight, cryogenic temperature, vaporiser, boil-off management, etc.
-
Design of a questionnaire to determine whether the people we spoke to had already studied liquid hydrogen, and the advantages and disadvantages identified.
-
Making contact and conducting personalised interviews.
-
Drafting of a summary report for the client.
Deliverable
We have carried out an in-depth analysis of liquid hydrogen technologies in the maritime industry over the next five years.
